Why pushing is important

I’m motivated by seeing how far I can push myself – how far I can take my experiments and how close I can get to actually knowing who I am, or how far I can go with any of my ideas. I’m not satisfied with anything, ever, so I feel like I need to keep stretching or I’ll die a stagnant, uncreative death. My tombstone will read: “Here lies Paul. He didn’t do a whole lot.” Even worse, it’ll be carved in some horrible typeface (like Comic Sans or Papyrus).

I think experimenting with fear is important, because it makes us present and accountable to ourselves, and it ensures we live meaningful lives by learning how much we’re capable of accomplishing. We have no idea what we can really do unless we try things and challenge our perceived limits.

Confronting fear can also create some of your proudest moments. I feel good about myself if I do something I was scared to do. Almost everything I’ve feared has turned into something I can’t believe I was ever scared to try.
