go big or go home
All or nothing
Go big or go home is an exhortation to commit fully rather than make a halfhearted effort—either pursue something with maximum intensity or don't bother at all.
The phrase originated in extreme sports culture but now appears in business, fitness, and everyday motivation: It's go big or go home time.
Often used self-mockingly when justifying excess.
