Kenneth Hill Jr. earned black belts and opened a martial arts school despite being told he'd never walk. He argues that accepting "good enough" is a trap, and that exceeding your own expectations should fuel you to keep going, not stop.

I'm not a fan of the advice that I've been given. I've been told that, you know, you're doing so much, you know, why don't you just stop? You know, you've done enough. And it's kind of a head-scratcher to me because I'm someone who didn't think that I'd be able to walk or even practice martial arts. And you know, it's not just one person; it's a bunch of people. They're like, "Well, how about if we do it? You know, look at your life. Yeah, you didn't think you'd be able to do those things, but here you are now. You're you're you know you have multiple black belts that you've earned. You you know you're a published writer. You've done so many things. You know, yeah, you have a martial arts school, and you." You know, you're still teaching, but you know why? Why would you want to do any more than that? You've done more than anyone ever expected, and they're right. But I've also done more than I've expected, and I have no reason to stop. The focus was on me at first because after going through I went through the first half of my life, I didn't think I was going to be able to walk. But then learning that I could do so much more just because I decided, you know what, I didn't want my life to be like they said it would be. I've been able to do so much more. I don't know how anybody else feels about it, but I've seen too many people stop themselves from doing anything. Because people have said they've done enough, you know, what they've done is good enough, and maybe I want more than good enough. What about you?
