English term or phrase: vision of capability
Hi everyone,

I have troubles translating the following sentence, which comes from a New Year wishes letter :

"My hope is that we [...] help lift people beyond their vision of capability"

What does "vision of capibility" means here ? I understand it as "se surpasser, repousser ses limites" in French - surpass oneself, push one's limits.

Cheers,
ThB
