“The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.” -Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

For most people, the stakes simply aren’t high enough.

Their goals are demanding enough.

They’re not being forced to grow and expand into their vision.

As a result, they don’t expect great things for themselves and then watch it happen.

To quote Michael Jordan,

“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”

Indeed, everything in your life right now is following your beliefs. Your relationships, income, and health are all a product of what you believe you deserve.

You will never get more than you think you can get. Thus, in order to get more, you must elevate your sense of what you believe you deserve.

One way to do that is to set goals beyond your “current capacity” or what other people may call “crazy” goals.

This article will explain how it works.
