Episode 39: How Do You Know How Tall You Are?

T.S. Eliot was one of the greatest poets of the first half of the 20th century. His works have outlived him by more than 75 years, and they will continue to be known for at least 75 more.

If you’re not in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? In other words, if you haven’t stepped past your limit, how do you know where it is? The narrative you’re telling yourself about your limitations and your abilities may be selling you short. You can dream bigger. You can dig deeper. You can do more.

And if it turns out that you can’t, you’ve found another area of the failure maze that isn’t for you. You’ve learned another path that doesn’t lead where you want to go. You can step back, re-evaluate, de-commit to some activities, and try again. The world won’t burn down, and neither will you. And the best case? You might just change the world. And you’ll definitely change yourself.
