The liberating mentality I get, when I give it my all, at a one rep max, with no fear. If I’m just not strong enough, I feel great. I know this just means that I will eat more meat, take a few days off, and just try again.
The simple: just never fall out of practice.
For with powerlifting, a powerlifter is only happy when they attempt a new one rep max. When they attempt a new personal record. Meeting goals is actually not what we want.
The possibility or potentiality for a greater personal record in the future is what we desire.
Perhaps this is also what entrepreneurs desire; not necessarily to make a bunch of money, or to meet any certain business goals, but the promise of always having some sort of future advancement or gains.
