Sometimes encouragements and appreciation make us limit our abilities.
We believe we are only this good when someone tells us we are good at something. We believe we can achieve what we are being told.
But, how do we know we can only achieve this much. We don’t look beyond, go beyond and try beyond. what’s excellent for someone may be our mediocre. Why do we accept it without exploring it for ourselves?
Believe in yourself. Know your strengths. Explore your skills. Being appreciated should be the motivation to reach higher up... create your own benchmark for excellence.
