“You can do anything you set your mind to.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

It always felt good to hear this phrase growing up. I mean, who doesn’t remember the naivety of childhood where anything and everything feels possible?

But as you get older, this phrase starts to lose its shine. You start to realize that your dreams of being a professional athlete or an astronaut might have been a little far-fetched.

And at a certain point, you begin to wonder if everyone who said that to you growing up was full of sh*t.

Well, they were only kind of full of sh*t. Your brain is a magnificent organ that can rewire itself to learn new skills, develop new personality traits, and achieve great things.

However, there are factors outside of your control that limit your potential. And it’s important to recognize this before you choose what you’re going to dedicate your life to.

In this article, we’re going to unpack the phrase, “you can do anything you set your mind to,” and talk about the right way to internalize it.

Then more importantly, we’re gonna cover actionable strategies that you can leverage to max out your potential in any given domain.

 

Is It True That You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To?

Let’s get right to brass tacks by answering the crucial question — is it really true that you can do anything you set your mind to?

Well, theoretically the answer is yes. 

Obviously, this excludes questions that have a ridiculous premise like, “Can I learn how to jump 20 feet high?” or “Can I become a billionaire in six months?”

Within reason, you can become great at anything you practice repeatedly. 

If you want to climb Mount Everest, you can learn the intricacies of climbing and train your body to withstand high-altitude conditions.

If you want to become an excellent communicator, you can expand your vocabulary and practice your verbal skills until you’re better than 98% of the population.

If you want to become a professional tennis player, you can spend thousands of hours perfecting your craft and make it to the professional tour.

However, there’s one big caveat — the level of work required to achieve mastery in any field is directly correlated to your genetic makeup.

The game of chess is a perfect example of this. If you look at the top chess grandmasters over the last 100 years, many of them have an IQ score that’s above 150. 

Magnus Carlsen, who many people consider the greatest chess player of all-time, possesses an IQ of around 190. For context, the average IQ is about 100, and anything above 160 is considered a genius level IQ. 

Yet, there’s also world renowned chess grandmasters who have a pretty average IQ score. Take Nigel Short for example, who only had an IQ of 110. He possesses the third highest rating of any chess player who’s ever lived.

Haruki Nakamura is another non-genius that’s currently the world’s no 3. ranked chess player, with an IQ that’s only around 110-120.

But while there’s exceptions to the rule, it’s well-documented that having a high IQ is a significant advantage when learning chess, or really any other skill.

 

 

Stand-up comedy is another great example of this.

If you listen to most stand-up comics talk about their childhood, they’ll usually say that they always had a knack for making people laugh. It’s not like they were studying the intricacies of joke writing in 7th grade, so they clearly had innate cleverness and wittiness that made them funnier than their peers.

Does that mean every stand-up comic was born funny? No, but it does mean that most of them had a head start because of the traits they were born with.

So the takeaway from this is yes, you can do anything you set your mind to. But if you want to become a master at your craft, accept that you’re gonna be competing with people who possess superior potential.

 

Accept Your Ceiling, But Max Out Your Potential

We’ve already established that you can do anything you put your mind to. (within reason)

However, it’s also true that you were born with certain traits that will make it harder/easier to excel in certain things.

If you want to become socially charismatic, you’re gonna have a much harder time developing your social skills than someone who was born with natural wit. 

If you want to become a professional athlete, it’s gonna be harder for you than someone who was born with an abnormally high number of fast twitch muscle fibers.

This shouldn’t dissuade you from going after what you want, it’s just meant to ground you in reality before you commit to a path. I think that a helpful mindset in any pursuit is the following — accept your ceiling, but max out your potential.

There’s literally people out there who workout once a month, yet they have a perfectly toned chest, abs, and triceps.

Does that mean you accept that you weren’t born to get ripped? Of course not! It just means that you can’t get the body you want by working as hard as they do.

So as you think about what you’re pursuing right now, here are some important questions you want to ask yourself:

• Do you feel like you have a natural gift for what you do? 
• Do your genetics make it easier to succeed at your chosen field?
• If you’re not wired for success, are you willing to put in significantly more work than your peers to become great?

If you answered “no” to all three questions, then you might wanna consider choosing a different pursuit.

If you answered “no” to the first two questions, but “yes” to the last one, then by all means continue moving down the path of improvement.

If you answered “yes” to all three questions, then you’re in the ideal position to reach greatness.

 

 

You’ve Gotta Get The Reps In

When talking about how you can do anything you set your mind to, it’s mandatory to highlight the power of neuroplasticity.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term neuroplasticity, it simply refers to the brain’s ability to change and adapt due to new experiences. When we attempt to learn new skills or put ourselves in new situations, our brain literally rewires itself and forms new neural connections.

Isn’t that pretty f**king cool? For all of the talk about how your brain stops you from reaching greatness, this is one of the major areas where it’s your best friend.

With that said, what do you need to achieve neuroplasticity? Well, you need two ingredients — deep focus and repetitions.

The repetition part is pretty self-explanatory. All of you reading this know that in order to improve at something, you need practice.

But the more overlooked part of this equation is deep focus. In order to learn something at a quicker rate than your peers, you need to consistently get yourself into states of intense focus.

This means no distractions, no getting side-tracked, no starting and stopping, and no multitasking.

If you truly want to level up quickly, you’ve gotta master the art of focusing on one thing for an extended period of time. All of the research out there suggests that this state of intense focus triggers greater neuroplasticity.

Now the next question you probably have is — how can I train this skill on a daily basis?

Well let’s face it, you’re not gonna develop monk-like focus overnight. However, there’s an awesome exercise that gradually builds your focus muscle so that you can improve neuroplasticity and shorten your learning curve.

It’s called the The Roosevelt Dash, and it comes from Cal Newport’s productivity classic: Deep Work: Rules For Focused Success In A Distracted World. 

Here’s how the exercise works:

• Pick a high-priority task that you need to get done, or a skill that you’re looking to improve
• Go to the place where you do your best work.
• Set a timer on your phone for 15 minutes, and then put it on do not disturb.
• Once the timer starts, focus every ounce of your attention on learning that skill or completing that task.
• Once the timer ends, take a break.

The beauty of this exercise is two-fold. First off, 15 minutes is a pretty reasonable timeframe. It’s a realistic target for focused work that almost anyone can accomplish.

Second, it trains your focus muscle through a short burst of intense work. And as you become more proficient with deep focus, you can increase these time periods incrementally.

Whether you’re looking to get better at chess, social skills, cold calling, graphic design, or writing, these periods of distraction-free work are crucial to maximizing neuroplasticity and getting ahead of your peers.

 

 

Consistency Is Key

Earlier I said that it’s true you can do anything you put your mind to. 

Well, this is only half-true, because this is operating under the assumption that you’re consistently showing up every day. So I want to end this article with a dose of reality for those of you who want to do big things with your life.

You have to become the type of person who gets the f*cking job done regardless of how you feel.

The fact that you found this article signals to me that you’re not content with average. It signals to me that you want to get more out of life than 95% of people.

Well if you truly want an uncommon life, then you must be prepared to do uncommon things. And one of the most uncommon habits you can develop is to consistently get the reps in even when you don’t feel your best.

Because guess what? In whatever area of your life you’re looking to excel in, you’re only gonna feel motivated to work probably 20-30% of the time.

Motivation is not a permanent fix. I wish that motivation was sustainable fuel. I wish I could tell you that I’m sitting here jumping for joy writing this blog post, but I’m not.

It’s 10:10 pm. I had a really busy day at my sales job. I’m tired from the workout that I did a few hours ago. And honestly, I could probably fall asleep in five minutes if I went and laid down in my bed right now.

I don’t want to write right now, but I have to write right now. Because I’ve made a decision that this blog is going to become my full-time income, and consistency is the only thing that will make that a reality.

All of you reading this have a mountain that you want to climb. Maybe it’s building an online business, becoming more charismatic, or getting in better shape. 

 

 

Whatever it is, understand the only thing that will separate you from your peers is relentless consistency. If you just do the things you don’t feel like doing, then you’ll have everything you’ve ever wanted.

So as you set out to achieve mastery, recognize that the steps in the journey aren’t fun or sexy. They’re boring and uncomfortable, and you’ll rarely feel a surge of motivation to keep moving forward.

But if you just adopt the mindset of “I’m gonna do it anyway,” you’ll end up lightyears ahead of everyone else who wants what you want.

Life is always going to find ways to test your resolve. It’s reminiscent of Murphy’s Law, which essentially states that “what can go wrong, will go wrong.” 

When things go wrong in life, they tend to go wrong all at once. Very rarely are you forced to deal with just one problem, it’s usually a cascade of problems that all hit at the same time.

There’s nothing you can do to change this, it’s just how life works. And while it feels cruel, there is a world in which you grow through what you go through and emerge victorious.

In this article, we’re going to cover several ways that you can make the most of your struggles and come out of them stronger. 

Because there’s always a reason for your pain. You might not know what it is quite yet, but there’s always growth to be found in the struggle.

So let’s dive into some actionable tips for unlocking that growth and using adversity to fuel a better version of you.

 

7 Tips To Grow Through What You Go Through

Before we get started, I want to share a Steve Harvey quote that captures the essence of growing through what you go through.

“You need dirt on you to develop. Because dirt ain’t just dirt. Dirt is fertilizer. Dirt is nutrients. Dirt gives you the strength for your seed to push through…show me something that has grown into something beautiful that didn’t have any dirt on it.”

Harvey’s message here is that if you wanna grow into the best version of yourself, you’ll have to deal with life throwing some dirt on you.

That dirt may come in many forms — getting laid off from your job, going through a divorce, enduring a catastrophic failure with your business, suffering the loss of a loved one, etc.

Whatever dirt is being thrown on you right now, understand that it’s there for a reason.  It’s not there to break you, it’s there so that you can learn, grow, and evolve into a better you.

So with that said, let’s dive into seven ways you can grow through what you go through in life.

 

#1: Accept Responsibility

The first step in changing your circumstances is taking total accountability for them. 

I don’t know what you’re struggling with right now, but I do know this — you’re probably doing something to make the problem worse.

Getting laid off from your job may not be your fault, but sitting on the couch and procrastinating isn’t gonna help you.

It may not be your fault that you lost a loved one, but drowning in self-pity all day long isn’t going to make things any better.

You may not be responsible for the behavior of a toxic friend, but you’re sure as hell responsible for continuing to give them second chances.

The bottom line is that at the source of any pain, there’s always something that you can do to make it better or worse.

You have control over which direction you go. But before you even get going, you need to admit that your current pain is a reflection of the choices you’ve made.

You need to look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I’m not where I want to be because of me, and no one else.”

If you really want to grow through what you’re going through, start by admitting that you’re the problem. 

If you don’t, there will always be something else to blame.

 

 

#2: Shift Your Mindset Around Stress

One of the most common mistakes that people make when enduring hard times is that they allow struggle to warp their perspective.

There was a study conducted by Stanford Assistant Professor Alia Crum, which looked at the impact of stress on people’s lives.

The research showed that viewing stress as a helpful part of life led to better health, improved well-being, and more productivity at work.

Meanwhile, those who viewed stress in a negative light were less happy, less healthy, and not as productive as those in the first group.

So what’s to learn from this study? Well, the first thing is that stress is linked to meaning and fulfillment.

In a 2013 national survey, adults were asked to rate how much they agreed with the following statement, “Taking all things together, I feel like my life is meaningful.”

Surprisingly, the participants who strongly agreed with this statement also reported the highest levels of stress in the areas that the researchers asked about.

So if you’re going through a period of discomfort in your life, don’t see this as something you need to run away from.

See it as the pathway to a meaningful life. See it as a way for you to emerge from the hole you’re in more confident and resilient than ever before.

This is how people who live meaningful lives view stress — not as a curse, but as a blessing.

 

 

#3: Reflect On What You’re Avoiding Every Day

One of the best ways to grow through what you go through is by taking stock of the situations you’re avoiding on a daily basis.

If you really think about your problems, you’ll realize that 90% of them could be solved by simply doing the things you don’t want to do.

If you’re unhappy with your social life, you’re probably avoiding the following situations:

• Attending social gatherings that you get invited to
• Getting into interactions with people you don’t know.
• Spending time in unfamiliar environments

If you’re unhappy with with the trajectory of your career, you’re probably avoiding the following situations:

• Attending seminars and workshops to level up your knowledge.
• Meeting with top performers in order to learn from them.
• Completing the high-priority items on your to-do list

At the core of your being, you have a smart intuition that knows exactly what you need to do to improve your situation.

But on the other side of the coin, you have a collection of automated behaviors (habits) that represent your current identity.

Any action that deviates from this identity creates internal resistance, leading to a tug of war between who you are and the person you want to be.

These moments come in different forms for everyone. For some of you, it’s the moment the alarm clock goes off. 

For others, it’s the moment right after you feel the urge to go to the gym. Or maybe it’s the moment you hesitate before diving into your daily tasks.

Whatever it is you’re avoiding on a daily basis, understand that if you keep running from these situations, you’ll never grow through what you go through.

You’ll never become the person you want to become.

You don’t get to go through life only doing what you feel like doing. If you want to get through hard times, you must act on the world regardless of how you feel.

So I encourage you to take a few minutes right now and ask yourself this question — What am I running from on a daily basis?

Write down 2-3 situations that you tend to avoid, whether it’s out of stress, fear, uncertainty, or discomfort.

And once you have those written down, you now know exactly where your focus needs to be tomorrow and every day after that — diving headfirst into those painful, uncomfortable situations.

 

 

#4: Prioritize Small Wins & Build Upon Them

If you’re reading this article, my guess is that you’re going through something that’s preventing you from feeling like the best version of you.

Well, the only way to start climbing out of the hole you’re in is through incremental progress in the areas of your life causing you pain.

But given that you might be in a mental rut right now, you’re gonna need to lower the bar for what progress means.

Small progress isn’t small, it’s monumental. Because when you make progress, even in tiny ways, you experience natural motivation that pulls you towards the next levels of growth.

In fact, small wins are the foundation of many of the positive habits currently in place in my life.

• I started my habit of going to the gym by doing 10 pushups per day.
• I started my habit of talking to strangers each day by simply walking outside.
• I started my habit of writing 1,000 daily by starting with 50 words per day.
• I started my meditation habit by meditating for 30 seconds every morning.

All of these habits started with a tiny seed, a little burst of momentum that gently nudged me towards my ideal self.

So if you’re trying to grow as a person, don’t make the mistake of aiming for the stars.

Start tomorrow and commit to a target that you can realistically achieve, and then gradually raise the bar every day after that.

For example, let’s say that you really want to become more charismatic, but you’ve been wrestling with social anxiety:

• Tomorrow, your goal should be to simply walk outside.
• The day after that, raise the bar and make eye contact + nod at three people.
• The next day, up that number to 5-10 people.
• Then the following week, just say “hello” to five people per day. 
• Once that feels comfortable, take things a step further and give out compliments to three people.

Before you know it, your level of social anxiety will come down, and you’ll be getting into full-on conversations with complete strangers. 

All because you had the courage to set the bar low and start small.

Grow through what you go through not by aiming big, but by aiming small and stacking up tiny wins every single day. Eventually, those wins will compound and create an entirely different person.

 

 

#5: Turn Your Fears Into A Source Of Growth

One of the most common ways that we get stuck in life is by listening to fear.

Fear is a tricky thing to deal with. It’s an incredibly powerful and primal emotion that’s designed to protect you from danger.

On the other hand, it also tells you exactly what you need to do in order to fix your current situation. As Tony Robbins says, “What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do.”

So what things are you afraid of right now? When do you feel anxiety and fear bubbling up in your day to day life?

If you take a moment to reflect on this, you’ll probably identify some key moments throughout the day where fear is preventing you from taking action.

And once you’ve identified those moments, your next move is to start attacking those fears on a daily basis.

Don’t try to eradicate all of your fears at once. Just start with the fear that’s holding you back the most, and apply the small wins principle above.

Gently stretch your comfort zone by doing something that makes you slightly afraid, which will prove that what you’re avoiding isn’t that scary.

Then stretch yourself a bit further the next day, and the next, and keep repeating that cycle until you’re finally comfortable with that fear.

Now that process might take you six weeks, or it might take you six months. But remember, the evolution of your character is a marathon, not a sprint.

So as long as you step into fear every day, even if it’s just a baby step, eventually they’ll start dying and you will start growing.

 

 

#6: Change Your Environment

Another one of the best ways to grow through what you go through is to alter your environment in a way that sets you up for success.

Environment shapes our behavior far more than we realize. Oftentimes, we engage in certain behaviors because our environment prompts them, not because we actually want to.

If you’re trying to live a more interesting life, but the people you hang around never want to do anything fun, then that’s gonna be an uphill battle.

If you wanna stop procrastinating, but you always work in front of your TV with your phone on, then it’s gonna be hard to focus for long periods of time.

Bottom line: Your environment should make it easy for you to get out of a rut, not harder.

The best thing about your environment is that it’s one of the few things you have complete control over. 

So as you look at your life right now, think about how you can tilt the odds in your favor. Think about the small 1% alterations you can make to your environment that will facilitate forward progress.

Here’s a perfect example of a 1% alteration that helped my life.

A couple of months ago, I found myself in a bit of a rut. I had let myself slip and was waking up at wildly inconsistent times

I was starting each day on the backfoot with a lack of discipline, and this was rippling out into other areas of my life.

To combat this, I downloaded an alarm app to break my habit of hitting the snooze button.

The app forced me to take a picture of my front door before the alarm stopped beeping, meaning I had to physically get out of my bed.

It pretty much broke my habit of hitting snooze overnight. Once I was up, I just continued on with the rest of my morning routine.

See how that works? I didn’t need more discipline or willpower, I just needed to make a small adjustment to my environment.

(The app is called Alarmy by the way)

So think about your goals, and then think about the things in your external environment that are holding you back.

Then, start brainstorming various ways you can make things easier on yourself through environment design.

Because once you turn your external environment into an ally, it will be much easier to do what you need to overcome the struggles you’re facing.

 

 

#7: Realize That It Won’t Happen Overnight

Lastly, it’s important to gain perspective when you’re trying to fight your way through tough times.

If you’re going to grow through what you go through, you can’t get down on yourself when progress doesn’t come as quickly as you’d like.

As you’re taking the right actions, the storm will pass eventually.

If you’re trying to redefine your body and get in shape, I don’t know exactly when you’ll get the body you want. But I do know that if you workout 3-4x a week, and eat the right foods, you will get the body you want eventually. 

If you’re trying to improve your self-confidence, I can’t tell you exactly when everything will click for you. But I do know that if you consistently step outside of your comfort zone, eventually you’ll become a more confident person. 

If you’re really committed to personal growth, the timeframe doesn’t matter. 

When I started this blog, growth was painfully slow. After two years of writing and publishing every week, I was getting only 2,000 visitors every single month.

It’s been 8 months since I crossed that two year mark. Wanna know how many visitors this blog receives now?

Between 40,000-50,000 visitors every single month.

All I needed to do was wait for all of my efforts to compound before they made a tangible impact on my life.

So screw your timeline. If you’re serious about transforming your life, there’s no such thing as a timeline.

You’re either in this for the long haul, or you aren’t.

And if you just commit yourself to the daily regime of doing the things you don’t want to do, eventually you’ll experience personal growth in leaps and bounds.

 

 

FAQ’s About Growing Through What You Go Through

 

Who said grow through what you go through?

It’s actually unclear where the phrase “grow through what you go through” comes from.

There have been many influential people who have said this phrase to motivate others, such as actor Tyrese Gibson, who is usually the person that this quote is credited to.

But regardless of who said it, it’s a powerful phrase that encapsulates the key message that struggle is good for you.

 

What does it mean to go through what you go through?

Growing through what you go simply means that you let pain and adversity build your character instead of destroying it.

It boils down to being proactive as opposed to reactive. Instead of waiting for hard times to pass, you take decisive action because you know that’s where your growth lies.

You don’t grow if you only act when you’re happy, comfortable, or motivated. If you really want to live a fulfilling life, you need to face the hard stuff daily regardless of how you feel.

That’s how you turn struggle, stress, and pain into positive agents of change.

 

What’s the best way to go through what you go through?

The best way to go through what you go through is to take action, plain and simple. 

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Until you start taking action to fix the sources of pain in your life, they will continue to dominate your emotional state.

Now the actions required for personal growth will depend on your situation. However, in order for them to growth, they must be scary and uncomfortable

If you become the kind of person with a bias towards action even when things feel hard or scary, then you’re gonna win the battles life throws your way.

Jocko Willink Quotes On Motivation

One of the key lessons that Jocko Willink preaches is that motivation is an unreliable source of fuel to reach your goals.

Are you a fan of Moneyball? Well, then you’ve come to the right place, because in this article we’re covering some of the best Moneyball quotes from this legendary baseball movie.

Moneyball is a movie about the groundbreaking approach to baseball success that challenged conventional baseball wisdom with data and statistics. It didn’t just change the game, it rewrote the entire rulebook.

Moneyball focuses on the 2002 Oakland Athletics, who prior to the start of the 2002 season, lose their three best players in free agency.

Billy Beane, the general manager of the team, finds himself with his back against the wall and very little money to spend. As a result, he decides to re-build his team with an audacious strategy — he builds a roster strictly based on advanced analytics, which was unheard of in baseball at the time.

When people finally realized what Beane was doing, no one believed that his approach would be successful. However, the 2002 Oakland A’s defied all of the doubters, winning 102 games and achieving one of the longest winning streaks in baseball history. 

And although they didn’t end up with a World Series trophy that year, that team changed the game of baseball forever.

So whether you’re a die-hard baseball fan, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy these quotes from Moneyball.
