Lean just beyond your edge -“In any given moment, a man’s growth is optimized if he leans just beyond his edge, his capacity, his fear. He should not be too lazy, happily stagnating in the zone of security and comfort. Nor should he push far beyond his edge, stressing himself unnecessarily, unable to metabolize his experience. He should lean just beyond the edge of fear and discomfort. Constantly, In everything he does.” - David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man
Live with an open heart even if it hurts “Closing down in the midst of pain is a denial of a man’s true nature. A superior man is free to feeling and action, even amidst great pain and hurt.

He should learn to stay in the wound of pain and act with spontaneous skill and love even from that place.” - David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man
