The Dream Killer

Not your ability, but your confidence

January 28, 2025

“Lack of confidence kills more dreams than lack of ability. Talent matters—especially at elite levels—but people talk themselves out of giving their best effort long before talent becomes the limiting factor. You’re capable of more than you know. Don’t be your own bottleneck.”
-James Clear

James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” is essentially the self-help Bible. Just ask Forbes.

It’s been translated in over 60 languages and has sold over 20 million copies. The Bible has been translated into 750+ languages and over 5 billion copies sold, it did have a couple thousand year head start though.

This is all besides the point: Don't be your own bottleneck.
