If you really want to find out what you're capable of, you cannot put limits on yourself, and you definitely cannot be cautious.
John Eliot
Image
We tend to view confidence as a product of accomplishment rather than part of the process that leads there. But supremely confident people were confident long before they achieved anything.
John Eliot
Image
Perfectionism is simply putting a limit on your future. When you have an idea of perfect in your mind, you open the door to constantly comparing what you have now with what you want. That type of self criticism is significantly deterring.

The true exceptional performer is on super pilot. Every single sense, every fiber of his body is brought together in what he is doing.
John Eliot
Image
The top players in every field think differently when all the marbles are on the line. Great performers focus on what they are doing, and nothing else...They let it happen, let it go. They couldn't care less about the results.
