Colin O’Brady Instagram – All of my world record projects started with NOT having the skills to do them. Before I set off on my first expedition (Explorer’s Grand Slam), I had very little mountaineering experience and even less money in the bank. If I had woken up everyday letting either of those stories define me, I would NOT have been successful. I would not have shared my vision passionately and landed a sponsorship with Nike in the final hour. If I had allowed my current story define me, I would have likely given up. We all have the ability to apply this kind of thinking. So, the next time you are doubting your current abilities, brush off that fixed mindset and instead, “Be your not.”
