“What you think is attainable is just a function of what you know at the moment…Remember that great expectations create great capabilities. If you limit your goals to what you know you can achieve, you are setting the bar way too low.”
– Ray Dalio
Our expectations can push us — but can also constrain us, too. What’s your biggest goal right now? If you cracked it open, could you make it bigger?
