Summary

When I’m interviewed on other people’s shows about drive, often the first topic they’ll bring up is my claim that everyone has drive. Further, that everyone has just as much drive in them as anyone else. When I explain it, everyone agrees and accepts this new revelation. However, in this space of self-improvement, I bristle at the concept of “no fear” and “no limits” and “no excuses.” This is the perception I embraced as a kid and took into my life. It was great as a pro cyclist where you push yourself past your limits. But overall in life, to disregard the truth of our weaknesses and limitations is foolish. I know. I have been a fool so many times. In my recent show with Harvard and MIT professor Jeff Karp, his story starts with tremendous difficulties as a kid in school. They wanted to hold him back in 2nd grade. His grades were terrible. He was labeled a troublemaker. He was embarrassed by teachers in front of his class. What I appreciate is he didn’t just justify all his issues. He accepted them and said, “Yes, I really have trouble with my attention and how my brain does and doesn’t work.” And he didn’t justify it with his ultimate success as an Ivy League professor. He just took it all scientifically and spiritually and said, “Hey, here are some tools I figured out that can help you, like they helped me.” We do have personal weaknesses. We do have limits. We do have things we will always struggle with, and they do matter. Drive with me a moment and let’s talk about how we can progress and succeed anyway. With growth, grit, and grace.
