Limits, like fear, are often just an illusion.
The cleverness here lies in Jordan's claim that limits and fear are *similarly* illusory—not that they're nonexistent, but that we often accept them without testing whether they're real or merely inherited assumptions. A young athlete might believe she can't jump as high as her idol, yet that "limit" evaporates the moment she commits to specific training rather than vague effort. What makes this different from simple cheerleading is the suggestion that the barrier isn't external constraint but our willingness to believe in it, which means the path to change runs through honest skepticism about our own stories.
