A plant only grows as big as its pot allows. Sometimes you need a bigger container, not more water.

There is a limit set by your surroundings, and no amount of additional effort inside a container that has stopped fitting will produce more growth. When you are working hard and going nowhere, the constraint is often the environment rather than the input, and adding more input just makes the constraint hurt.

Ask honestly whether your current situation could accommodate a much better version of you. If the answer is no, the useful change is the setting, not the effort. Start looking rather than working longer hours inside the same walls.
