“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
– T.S. Eliot
You cannot possibly discover any of your limitations without first choosing to go directly to your limits. And then some. All along that way, you will surely face fear. Disappointment. Doubt. Uncertainty.
Defeat.
Embracing this level of risk requires unshakable will and determination. The resolve to fully commit. An unbound level of courage. Unshakable faith. And good old fashioned grit.
Yet at the end of the day, this is truly a worthy venture. A path well chosen.The only one that can reveal just how far you can go.
So press on toward what you think are your known limitations. Fully embrace that current threshold, eyes fixed and head-on. Then, fit into it. Embody the struggle. Fight your way through it, working your way all the way out to the other side.
Appreciate all that you have just become in the process. Discover what you can be in all of those similar moments yet to come.
Only when you choose to go too far will all of this become apparent.
That the risk was well worth the reward.
And you will know with the utmost certainty.
Just how far you can go.

Fitting this one from a year ago seems to coincide with today’s prompt.
No need to exchange places with someone more accomplished than you. Just need to focus on being all you can be. And the rest will take care of itself.
You will be amazed.
