40% Rule (David Goggins) propounds that when your mind tells you you’re done, you’re exhausted, and can’t go any further, you’re only 40% done. You still have 60% left in your tank. It highlights that perceived limits are psychological; by pushing past that mental barrier, one could access significant quantum of untapped potential. The 40%
