The one tying you to your past accomplishments, your past efforts and your past abilities.

You’ve moved on. You’ve grown. Move forwards!

Being creatures of habit we’re tied to the idea of seeking comfort and maintaining it once we’ve achieved it.

“Stay in your lane”

“Don’t get ideas above your station”

You know what those epithets do? They limit your future progression. They demand that you stagnate.

So ignore them!

Your lane is now the slow lane.

Your station is now no longer the one closest to the moon It’s time to level up!

Start by snapping the elastic band that pulls you back to where you have been.

Comparing yourself to the same group at gym. Expecting the same salary as those on your level at work. Accepting the same outcomes despite the increased skill and effort.

ou’ve now got to demand more from yourself! Shift your mindset to now find new goals, greater expectations and demand that you achieve them. Remember that others want you to remain where you are. They’re comfortable in their expectations of you.

But remember that you’re not looking to please them! If the tables were turned, they’d flip the switch and pull away from you. Their loyalty to the elastic band that’s holding you together doesn’t exist! So leave them admiring the growth you’re getting.

You’ve got to strive for greatness.

To find it for yourself

And once you’ve found it?

Don’t stop pushing for more
