While interning at a dance studio in January one of the teachers there imparted an interesting piece of advice; Teaching requires you to demonstrate at 200% of your physicality and energetic capacity. That got me thinking when have I ever even TRIED to exert that much effort into anything? When is the last time I did something that I actually could not have done one more thing for? Of course, mathematically it is impossible for anything to reach twice its fullest capacity, because full, is full, is full. However, I think in pursuing my 200% I may find my 100% reaches farther than I thought.

This semester I want to try out this mantra. I may overexert myself or over-tire myself, but I want to come closer to hitting that boundary. I want to sniff it out and try my best to come close.
