We all have our challenges, our obstacles, our edge. And they are all different for each of us. What for some may be a jog, for others will be a marathon. What for some may be a hill, for others will be a mountain. We all have our differing capacities and therefore tests.
One action to be taken. Same outcome to be had. Two people. For one, it’s a day at the spa. For the other it’s a march through Hell. Who has access to greater capacity? The one for whom it is a day at the spa right? Let’s look at it from a slightly different angle. Let’s say the one who feels like they’re at the spa when faced with having to undertake this action, chooses to stay within the comfort of their abilities. And let’s say the one for whom it is a march through Hell, tearing away at their fears and perceived weakness, has just come out the other side. Now, let’s ask the question again: Who has access to greater capacity?
Our capabilities and success’s can’t be judged against another. Therefore it can only be judged from within. And that’s much harder to be honest about. Therefore, sometimes looking to an outside source can assist putting perspective on where we’re truly at.
No judgement here. But if you’ve heard yourself say any of the following, resulting in your not making progress towards your goals (or keeping you from making any at all), take a moment to re-access. Am I honestly up against my edge? Am I truly forging towards my greatest capacity?

This is a great article, and a very valid point about not being able to compare.
I also like your “dare to” section. Double dare you! 😉
Double Dare Received! Let’s see what this year brings:)
