The antidote to “capping out” is being a glutton for punishment.
You need to be a glutton for punishment (delight in it) in one area in particular: Feedback.
The feedback you need to go to the next level will come from your critics, not your fans; because while your fans will see your strengths, your critics see your blind spots.
Your desire to be good must exceed your desire to feel good.
Be secure enough in your identity and ability that feedback won’t wreck you.
You don’t have to drastically change who you are to shore up your blind spots.
Being aware of your criticism doesn’t mean you surround yourself with your critics.
