Breakthrough
Bruce Lee has always been, and remains, someone I admire very much. He managed to squeeze an awful lot of accomplishment and living into a life so short.
How did he achieve so much? By setting his own expectations for himself and living to his own standards.
See the quotes below for some inspiration from the great man himself.
“If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”
“A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as something to aim at.”
“I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.”
Following our own path may require some unorthodox thinking and methods at times. Swimming against the flow of conventional wisdom isn’t easy but can be rewarding.
Set your own limits.
