You can plunge, plunge, plunge until your muscles burn and your face turns red.

- Training without rest.
- Loving without commitment.
- Building something without a plan.
If you’re not getting the results you want despite extraordinary effort, it’s worth pausing to think whether you’re missing a key ingredient.
