Great athletes who have won several awards in judo, cycling, and tennis embody the concept of surpassing oneself. or even “out of the ordinary” challengers: Iron Man triathlons, Channel swims, severe walks, and the Camino de Compostela are examples.
However, being a top athlete or working in sports is not enough to worry. We often forget that we can transcend ourselves, regardless matter our abilities or goals. How can you exceed yourself daily?
One surpasses themselves by pushing their limits beyond what they think they can do. Instead of running from difficult situations, we address and resolve them.
We challenge ourselves to overcome these physical, educational, or cultural hurdles. Psychological barriers like self-doubt, failure, and demotivation hamper our growth.
