“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim”. — Graham Greene
Wow. Then what does it mean, “If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”?
Simply this: You can set the bar low and reach a goal, and then wonder if you could have done better, eventually living with a certain degree of regret for not trying harder.
Or, you can set the bar impossibly high, give it your absolute best, fail, yet live with the satisfaction and peace that you left nothing on the table.
There are no guarantees in life. But you already knew that, right?
