Quotes by Heidi Grant Halvorson (?)

“Difficult but possible is the key. That’s because more difficult goals cause you to, often unconsciously, increase your effort, focus, and commitment to the goal; persist longer; and make better use of the most effective strategies.”
― Heidi Grant Halvorson, Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals

“The uncomfortable truth is that most of us don’t come across the way we intend. We can’t see ourselves truly objectively, and neither can anyone else. Human beings have a strong tendency to distort other people’s feedback to fit their own views. We know this intellectually, and yet we rarely seem to recognize it as it’s happening.”
― Heidi Halvorson, No One Understands You and What to Do About It
