Keep surpising yourself

One of my favourite people has been on a tremendous journey over the past few months, building a new venture.

Along with that have been the different shades of building new skills. And doing new things they never thought they could do.

We recently joked about this and they told me how beautiful it is to keep surprising oneself. I liked that.

There is no known ceiling to what we are capable of. What's required is for us to try and surprise ourselves.

It's enough validation when times become rough. It's enough reason to do great but difficult work.

Sometimes, the point of it all is to show yourself - and no one else - how much we can raise the floor on what we can do.

The other perks are just toppings.
