Rockefeller’s quote isn’t just about business—it’s about mindset, courage, and the hunger to break limits.
In this post, we’ll unpack why settling for “good” kills your potential, share stories of bold moves, and give you practical ways to push past fear and reach greatness.
Why “Good” is the Enemy of “Great”
The phrase “good enough” is a silent dream killer. It whispers, “Stay here. Don’t risk.”
But greatness never waits for comfort.
“Good” is a stop sign on your growth highway. If you settle, you miss chances to innovate, improve, and shine.
The Psychology Behind Settling vs. Striving
Human brains are wired to avoid pain and seek rewards. Settling feels safe because it avoids risk.
But striving for greatness taps into deeper motivation—meaning, legacy, and fulfillment.
