Instead, just attempt half, or a quarter, or even an eighth of what you think you are capable of.

At least two things will happen: you will accomplish some pretty cool stuff and you’ll show yourself you are capable of more than you thought.

(And you’ll keep doing stuff, which is the coolest thing of all!)
