In basic training, I was pushed beyond what I thought my limits were, and found that I could pretty much operate without limits; I would PAY for exceeding what those ethereal 'limits' actually WERE, in pain, but I would finish my task first. So, sustaining "a comfort zone OUTSIDE your comfort zone" became a reality.

Now, over 25 years later, I still perform at a level most people half my age can't sustain. I have to acknowledge SOME limits now, but I'm a real ass about it. Don't like it.

I guess you could say I "impeached my Governor".
