Overextension

This is a term often used in finance but can very well be applied in any aspect of life. When we have less than what is needed or demanded, we overextend ourselves and our resources. When we are on the threshold of exhaustion or burnout. When we are on the brink of fatigue or injury. When we are on the edge of madness and on the verge of despair. Do we reach within us and carry on? Should we choose to be gritty? Do we act like heroes or ordinary humans? When our default is to overextend ourselves, do we still believe there is such a thing as overextension? 

I think that we overextend ourselves because at the end of the day, it is more comforting to tell ourselves that we did our absolute best and failed than to accept that we have limitations.
