What “impossibility” have you accepted that might just be someone else’s limited perspective?This week’s newsletter tells the story of Dr. Edith Eger, a Holocaust survivor whose son Johnny was born with cerebral palsy. The first doctor said Johnny wouldn’t make it to high school. But Eger sought a second opinion—and that changed everything. Johnny graduated from the University of Texas, top ten in his class.The mind can literally make or break the future we deem ours. Impossibilities are often just constructs trying to hold us back—stories we accept without question. This episode is about rejecting those limitations and pushing to the level of your potential.If you don’t like the first story you hear, seek out others.
