In many faiths and cultures, there’s the concept of “GOD always gives you the load that you can handle.” And Throughout many motivational speeches, you stumble upon the idea to Always Dream Bigger, Aim Higher, Drive Further, Not to Settle, and so on… This, in turn, teaches us that where we are today, right now, is never enough, and the way success is paved with feeling uncomfortable because you are meant for more.
I would like you to reflect on that statement a little bit, and before that, I will share with you a small story I’ve heard a while back about Elephants:?
Elephants are known to have excellent memories, they can virtually remember a lot of details from every year in their lives; and when a Circus professional was asked how come the elephant is tied with a small chain, they can literally break out from any time, but don’t? The professional replied:
When They are young, Elephants are tied with a heavy chain that the small Animal can’t break from no matter how much they try, and as they grow older, the memory of the vital chain is still vivid that they don’t even try to escape.
And it’s pretty much the same with a lot of us, who still remember that at some point in life, we were unable to achieve something because we were not capable at that time, and the contrast with the opposite is true as well, where we may think that we are still capable of doing, handling much more than we currently can.
This week’s Tip is about “Checking-in” with yourself and adjusting your fit… Just because you shouldn’t get used to being comfortable, you don’t need to BE UNCOMFORTABLE.

?“The good-to-great leaders never wanted to become larger-than-life heroes. They never aspired to be put on a pedestal or become unreachable icons. They were seemingly ordinary people quietly producing extraordinary results.”
You wouldn’t want to run a marathon in shoes that don’t fit!
You wouldn’t want to be presenting the Pitch of your Career and your cloth are tighter than they should be.
You would want to be comfortable while doing the extraordinary so keep adjusting to get to your right Fit and be comfortable in everything you are, and the rest is history in the making.
Have a wonderful week,
