From Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect:
Loading Likes...Embrace obstacles to accelerate your path to success.
As you progress, you’re bound to hit some personal limits. The question is, will you stop pushing, or will you break through the wall?
The wall of your discipline and routines represents the gap between your old self and your improved, stronger self. You’ll find your new habits will compound and you’ll change into a more successful person.
So when you come to the limit of what you think you can achieve, push through that limit to get quicker results and multiply your success.
Pushing through your personal limits will only make you stronger.
If you want to put yourself ahead of others and your old self, you need to break through your limits.
“The wall of your discipline and routines represents the gap between your old self and your improved, stronger self.”
I had never thought of my routines (and habits) as a wall in that sense. But I know it is like that. And I love the image of breaking through a wall to uncover an improved, stronger self. Powerful!
Glad you found it powerful, Walter!
I see it as: every additional ‘rep’ that you do, at a time when another version of you might give up, is a rep that will make you even stronger.
