Identity Ceiling
The highest level of result your current self-image will allow you to keep.
People rarely fail at earning, winning or being chosen. They fail at holding it, because the outcome contradicts who they privately believe they are. Raise the result without raising the identity and you will unconsciously arrange for a return to normal. The ceiling moves when the self-description does.
Also called: identity limit · self-image ceiling
