Test your limits

When’s the last time you ran at full speed?

Does your car have a governor?

How much can you drink before you fall asleep?

How much quality can you create?

Too often we settle for what we can do. But what CAN’T we do? Can we climb mountains? Can we write great stories? Can we paint great masterpieces?

How do you know if you don’t try?

Do something outside yourself. Once a week, once a day if possible. Learn something. Challenge yourself. Be somebody.

Yeah, my foot.
Oh, case of beer or half gallon of whiskey, depends if I eat.
Infinite.
You can’t flap your wings and fly. Didn’t think of that did ya sucker?
You can climb mountains, but if you get stuck I’m not coming to get you because mountains are steep.
Why would I want to write when I can type! Ha! Seriously, I’m a bad writer, I’d rather tell stories by speaking.
I couldn’t paint a circle.
I could try but that would require effort.
I work outside everyday and mow the lawn once a week, does that count?
