Whether you are at the gym, playing a sport, or studying for a test, work to exceed your expected potential and aim towards the unimaginable. Goals are goals regardless of if they are met or surpassed, but the feeling of pure self content when extending your most basic abilities. You never know your fullest potential until you test your endurance and self drive. It is all the power of the mind: if you tell yourself you can only hold a 1 minute plank and you keep at that, how will you ever know if you can hold a 2 minute plank? Think about it, the most basic example of testing your endurance. Not only physical abilities, but mental as well: when studying for a final, if you only focus on the last 3 chapters and skim the first 3 chapters, you will never know the highest score you are capable of receiving. Objectively, at the end of every thought, idea, opinion, goal, and perspective, is yourself. Only you are judging you and only you can decide whether you are mediocre or outstanding. Power. Of. The. Mind. It all starts with you, and a simple thought to accomplish the unthinkable!
