Stronger

"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
From A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh

How well do you know yourself? That of course depends on to what extent you have stayed in your comfort zone. Most of us do the same kinds of activities with the same kinds of people in the same ways all the time. We are afraid of doing things differently. After all, we might not get the results we wanted, or even fail altogether. But how do you know what you can do if you don't try.

We often really surprize ourselves on those occasions where we have to do something new, or do something differently. We find out that we have abilities that we never knew we had. Most of us under-rate our capabilities because we have never really tested them. Successful people are continually testing themselves, and pushing the envelope of what they can do. They boldly go where they have not gone before. And they find out the truth: we are braver than we believe, and stronger than we seem, and smarter than we think.
