The Great Acting Blog: “The Cycle Of Ever Greater Accomplishment”
The higher you set the bar, the more difficult you set the objective, the more you are activated and so the more you will accomplish. It’s up to you to decide how high the bar will be set and how you prepare yourself for overcoming it. Don’t complain if you think you are under-achieving, it was your decision to do so in the first place. The tendency is to set the objective at a level that is already within our grasp and so keep everything nice and quiet, but that’s not very exciting or fulfilling and we probably won’t get very far.
Muscles are grown by being torn. The tearing allows for the muscles’ cells to grow, so making the muscle larger. Accomplishing this however, is stressful and requires enormous effort over a period of time. But the muscle will grow. Similarly with your objectives, if you set them high enough, there will be stress, there will be turmoil and pain, but once you come through that you will be strengthened to set even greater objectives next time.

[…] Yesterday’s post was about setting goals high enough so that accomplishing them creates stress, and coming through this stress then helps us to grow.
