Achievable Potential

You can be as smart as you can be,
and that’s not going to be as smart as me.

There are 4 things worth remembering about your potential:

1. that your hypothetical potential should know no bounds;
2. that your current abilities and past experiences constrain you as much as you let them constrain you;
3. that you’re better off measuring your success relative to your starting point; and
4. that achievable potential is finite – after all, at some point you have to die.
