The important thing is to have a challenging heart and save yourself. If you fall, get up by yourself, take another step, and run forward again. Self-breakthrough means self-challenge, which means transcending the current me and moving towards a new me, constantly making progress, challenging myself, and defeating myself.

In fact, it is very simple to break through yourself. Your actions, freedom, and everything are controlled by your thoughts. As long as you are willing, you can definitely break through yourself. When facing someone you are unfamiliar with, you may want to go up and talk to him, but you are afraid to approach him. But you know, he doesn't know you, and he has to pay the price when talking to you. There is an angel and a devil in the human heart. That is, both good and evil.
