🟢 Your Green Box: The Zone Where You Already Shine
Imagine drawing a circle around everything you are already good at. That is your green box - your zone of expertise and everything just around it.
Two signs you are truly inside your green box:
- When things get hard, you get curious instead of giving up
- You can turn a bad situation into something great using your own thinking
The expert mindset: True experts never think they are done. They are always growing, even when they are already the best.
Watch out for this trap: People often tell romantic stories about one magical moment that made them great. But real expertise is built through small, consistent habits over time - like building a wall one brick at a time.
