Week 5: Chapter 4 — Hard Things That Are Beyond You

1.Alex and Brett describe a second category of hard things: those that are "beyond your current abilities" — tasks that require you to grow into them rather than simply deciding to do them. How is this different from the first category (things outside your comfort zone)?

2.The authors share stories of young people who attempted things that seemed wildly beyond them — and succeeded, often imperfectly, but meaningfully. What common thread runs through those stories in terms of what made the attempt worthwhile even before the outcome?

3.Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." How does this promise change the way you think about attempting something you are not yet capable of?
