“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.”
– Thomas A. Edison

I think we are more than capable of astounding ourselves, people just don’t put the time and effort into doing it. 

Maybe some people just don’t know where the goalposts are, and are unable to even start heading in the right direction.

Maybe some people are content with where they stand already.

Whatever the case may be, I don’t see it as an excuse.

Take risks. Challenge yourself. Be astounding. Do astounding things.
