Ted Ryce is a celebrity trainer and high-performance health coach, and through his work he’s learned that what keeps often people from attaining their goals is them giving away their power, underestimating how much what they do matters, and holding themselves to unrealistic standards.

He says that if someone wants to perform like a superhuman, they first have to realize that they’re only human. He says understanding your limitations can help you set yourself up for success in all areas of life. He suggests attacking challenges with an attitude of determination versus desperation to put yourself in the most beneficial mindset to achieve your goals.
