Our Limits
"Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist."- Chinese fortune cookie
I believe that most of our limitations are self imposed. We believe we can't, so we don't. This is the classic fear of failure.
I tend to approach life differently. When given an opportunity I believe that through it I will exceed my current knowledge and capability limits. I do not see my current knowledge level and those current limits as my true limits.
To me there are only two fears: fear of failure or fear of success. Most people are stuck on the fear of failure. A small majority believe that they can get past the failure but then do not know what to do when they have achieved success.
Neither fear is healthy. As the quote advises it is our duty to proceed as if our limits to our abilities do not exist. That means to be both during the striving phase(the fear of failure possibility) and reward phase (fear of success) we need to raise our level.
Today's question is:
"Do you proceed as if your limits do not exist or do you let fear stop you?"
