Life, especially the Christian life, is not a sprint. It is a marathon. Plenty of people have driven themselves into the ground attempting to accomplish what they believe that God wants them to do but no one ever made a lasting impression on the world for Christ this way. We have to get away from the emphasis we place on achieving great things for God and start emphasizing the greatness of simply knowing him. He is infinitely more interested in what type of person you are than what kind of things you can do. Learning that purpose and fulfillment come only thru our relationship with Christ and not our accomplishment is the first step to freeing ourselves from the need to gain approval, affirmation, and the burnout that is sure to follow
