93. Good, Better,
Best?
That night I went to the gym.
My favorite machine had a stack of 20 lb. weights and a dial that added
resistance five pounds at a time.
I put the pin in the stack for what I thought was the most I
could lift eight times. Someone had
added ten pounds of resistance with the dial.
I didn’t notice. I strained to
get the last repetition, thinking I was having an off day.
When I saw I’d lifted more than I thought I could, I wondered
how many other ways I’d accepted as my best less than I could actually do.
Today I
won't limit myself to my ‘best.’
