Reaching Your Ceiling

May 11, 2019

Most people don't reach their full potential. When I was in high school, I picked the wrong sport. I was good, but not great. But good got me to win it in the city and the county. But once I got to the state level, there's always a bigger pond. And a level after another level after another level. By the time I got to state, I was the shortest guy there. I worked my ass off to get to where I am. But the height that I was born with limited where I was going to go.

I was stuck at a local maximum. Do you want to be the best at what you do?

Do you pick something with a higher ceiling but lower floor, or lower ceiling and higher floor? Where should you compete?
