#push yourself a bit more
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on January 9, 2023, 2:16 PM
We underestimate ourselves. We underestimate our capacities to rise to great moments and occasions. And because of that, most times, we default to INACTION on starting that master’s degree, pushing for the next promotion, registering for that certification, sending that proposal, and broadly qualifying ourselves for the next level.
But remember: The cryolite is a precious gem. Some of the finest types are made from periwinkles. But that only happens when the animal shell is cracked.
We hope that we are not cracked above our abilities. But pushing ourselves a little more can release the gems to our ascension. Like the refiner’s fire that makes that metal better, cleaner and purer. #push yourself a bit more.
