Boundaries and limits...

We all live under the constraints of two different boundaries, one that is actually real and an imaginary one that we think exists. We limit our actions to the boundaries that we impose on ourselves and not necessarily the boundaries we actually have. In a nutshell, we stop when we think we have to instead of stopping when we can't go any longer.

Pushing boundaries is an important step in growth. As a child we established boundaries to understand right and wrong, develop our maximums, and to see what is possible. As we grow older, people lose sight of growth. People tend to fall into routines and habits, while forgetting to explore their own personal limits.

While living in comfort, people tend to find excuses why things are impossible. Falling to even trying, they've already discounted the possibility. It's a lot easier to say "no" than it is to say "yes". A "no" doesn't change your lifestyle, while a "yes" might create change. Change to some people is a dirty word. Sadly enough, most people forget that from change emerges growth.

Self imposed restrictions or failing to try doesn't necessarily negatively affect an individual, but it doesn't add to them either. Life is a process, challenge yourself and increase your limits. Find your boundaries in life and work harder to expand them. Life has no handbook... try until you fail and then try again.

Most of all, keep smiling...
