A woman I lift with a lot told me the other day that she encounters two kinds of people here. The first category is those who walk in and think they can just start heavy shit right away. The second category is made up people who underestimate their abilities and shoot lower than they actually can reach.
According to her, I fall into the second category. I’m the kind of person who hates being bad at things, who hates disappointing myself to such a degree that sometimes I go just under the bar of what I know I can do. And, even more likely, I just have no idea what I can do in the first place.
I think I’d like to start overestimating myself.
