Circular Logic Undermines Capability
- People often claim they can't do hard things because they pre-assume failure based on past experiences.

- William reflects on nearly one hundred podcast episodes as concrete proof he's done something hard.

- Viewing achievements only in component parts makes it easy to dismiss genuine effort.
