lim⋅i⋅ta⋅tion
–noun
1.a limiting condition; restrictive weakness; lack of capacity; inability or handicap:
2.something that limits; a limit or bound; restriction
Why is it that we limit ourselves? What causes us to say we can not do something? When we limit ourselves, according to the definition, we actually have a "restrictive weakness" and "handicap". We are choosing to be in this position, we are choosing to be handicap. What would happen if we just chose to remove the weakness and step outside of our comfort zone? What if everything that froze us in fear from going beyond our limits was removed? What would you strive for? What would you finally do that you feel so frustrated and "restricted" that you are not doing?
The opposite of limitations is freedom. Why are we afraid to have our freedom? I have noticed recently that if I push myself beyond what I think I can do then I am excited and there is a confidence about me. But then I feel the limitations settle in again. It's a constant battle. It falls into a lot of categories in my life; exercise, work, friendships, relationships, etc...
I want my freedom! I want to remove the boundaries of my limitations. I no longer want to see myself or anyone else afraid to go beyond their limits. So, what limitations are you going to remove today? I've got my list going...
