I really like that thought Tyler...For me, It's just a matter of thinking that way more often... This conversation is pumping me up though... makes me want to dig deeper and keep pushing through. Thanks for sharing man! “Keeping your brain not to limit yourself…”

But if you can remove a mental block because you have been conditioned to think a certain way, I think you can accomplish so much more than you ever thought you could. Think of those that worked their way out obesity to run a marathon. I bet at one point, they thought: "I could never..." BUT then they did it - OR how about a time when you completed more work in one day then you EVER had before. I bet at one time, because you were afraid of not completing something on time you thought "I have never completed more than..." so you turned a task down in fear that you would displease somebody (a boss, a friend, a coworker) and you couldn't handle that disappointment. BUT then, you did it. I think that we're just used to, out of habit, fearing failure in many aspects of life. You would rather under promise and over deliver :) I think it's a humbling character to acquire, never wanting to disappoint, or under deliver. Always wanting to work hard. But at what point can you say, someone is humble and maybe striving to achieve greatness versus having built a complex about a certain capacity of oneself. I think if each person can remove mental blocks, complexes and in the words of Nike, "just do it" I think you can accomplish much greatness :) HA. Corny, yes.. but I would agree that the mental side is a factor. I feel some would agree it's ALL mental. Me, I stay a fence sitter :) Just a few thoughts! Don’t know if I would say ALL mental.

Mental capacity is definitely a problem. I think the problem is keeping your brain trained not to limit yourself. I'd even go as far to say that most problems can be fixed by reprogramming your brain. Car broken, try googling how to fix it. Trying to lose weight, train your brain to eat less calories. Want to get more time in the day, wake up earlier. However, you can't possibly be a master of everything, so people pick and choose what they're good at. Interesting point.
