Are you looking at something you plan to do or have to do, and you don’t feel up to the job? Maybe you have a big test to take, a book you’d love to write, a promotion you’d really love to get…whatever it is, you might desire it, yearn for it, hope for it and don’t really believe you can succeed at it, so you don’t move toward it in your daily life.

The ancient Greek poet Archilochus said, “We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” One way to interpret that as you look at the thing you want and don’t believe you can have is that with training, you can get there. Look at the thing you’re not sure you can do and break it down into the small steps it will take to get there.

• Do you have the knowledge you need to pass the test? If so, yay – take the test. If not, study, then take it.
• Do you know how to write a book? If so, start writing, maybe with a goal to write a certain number of pages a week. If not, read a book or two about writing a book, and talk to people who’ve written them to learn how they tackled it.
• Want that promotion? Sit down and write out a case study of why you are the perfect person for that position.

Then you can rise to the level of your expectations.
