Go Too Far Instead of Not Far Enough
Season 1 Episode 215
In this electrifying episode of The Vancrux Podcast, We explore one of life’s most powerful philosophies — why it’s better to go too far than not far enough. This isn’t about recklessness — it’s about discovery. It’s about finding where your real limits are, rather than assuming where they might be.
Through vivid storytelling, thought experiments, and psychology-backed insights, we dive into why holding back guarantees mediocrity, while overreaching often reveals potential you didn’t know existed. Drawing from T.S. Eliot’s timeless idea — “Only those who will risk going too far can find out how far one can go” — this episode challenges listeners to stretch beyond comfort, to overshoot their goals, and to live with intensity rather than hesitation.
You’ll hear real-world examples — from athletes who push through exhaustion to creators who pour everything into their work — showing that the true cost of success isn’t overexertion, it’s the regret of never testing your edge.
By the end of this episode, you’ll see that it’s not the ones who go too far who fail — it’s those who never go far enough to find out what they’re capable of.
