Description

We've all failed before. Competition, rejection, loss...it's all a part of life. It's what The Limits is about: overcoming those obstacles to become great.

This week, we're featuring an episode of NPR's Life Kit featuring Jay Williams where he talks about the long, often grueling process of working through our disappointments. He describes the winning principle that got him through a career-ending motorcycle accident, through depression and addiction, and through multiple suicide attempts: you control your own narrative.
