Claim: Your top performance today will be normal tomorrow. Accepting change is the key to real growth.

Reality Check: While continuous improvement is a worthy goal, the idea that your best should always be better is a recipe for burnout. Research shows that setting overly ambitious goals without appreciating your current achievements can lead to chronic stress and reduced job satisfaction (Sonnentag & Fritz, 2015). Sustainable growth comes from setting realistic, achievable goals and recognizing your progress along the way.
