The article emphasizes the importance of setting personal and realistic goals rather than striving to be the best in every aspect. It critiques the societal pressure placed on individuals, especially young people, to excel universally, leading to burnout. Instead, it advocates for a balanced approach that prioritizes personal fulfillment and well-being. Achieving success should not come at the cost of mental and physical health, and individuals should focus on what genuinely matters to them rather than conforming to external expectations.
Don't try too hard. For years, we've been taught that only the best of the best of the best excel, but more often than not, there are factors besides performance at play.
Choose goals that make sense for you. I'm not saying don't try - I'm saying give everything your best shot, but make peace with the fact that you will not be the GOAT at everything you try.
