It's true, we must push ourselves.
And although no one pushes me like I will push myself...
I think there's also room to have certain people to help "push you."
One example I have is my "Spin Class" - I have a Spin bike at home and use it often. However, when I go to the class with my favorite instructor, she gets more out of me than I do at home. She has the ability to get more out of me, than I can get out of myself.
It's can also be true when you are part of a mastermind group or have a mentor or coach. (whether in business or personal life)
So yes, push yourself - and allow some people to push you as well.
That is a good point, "So yes, push yourself - and allow some people to push you as well." However, in the end it is up to you. I'm sure you have to spend money at the spin bike class for someone to push you.
Yes, I completely agree with you.
It does all come down to oneself! Even by allowing someone else to "push you" - that is a decision of your own to push. :)
Thanks for the comments and feedback.
