Limitless

"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them"

Brendan Francis

I have not been having a fun time of late things in my life have gotten totally out of control, complicated and just downright painful and I've spent a whole lot of time beating myself up, talking myself down and quite frankly apart from a few good moments (yes it's me and moments again and thats a whole other post for another time but I digress) I haven't had a clue how to move forward or even if I wanted to bother. In short the universe has been using me for curve ball practise and doing a really good job of it.

But today something changed in part because of coming across this quote and in part because of the realisation that I have been limiting myself. By some cosmic quirk these two things just happened to happen on the same day.

It all started this morning with a mail I sent and me trying to figure out why I was having such a hard time with something and I realised that I was letting fear interfere with what I wanted and by doing this I wasn't allowing myself to be myself, I was limiting the me I allowed someone to see. In this case it was fear of rejection, fear that as in the past this part of me would be unacceptable. Stupid considering, but then again past experience has shaped my beliefs which inturn limited my belief in myself and my abilities. This got me to wondering about just how many other parts of my life I was allowing fear to limit. It would appear that doubt nd fear of rejection, of not being good enough, of not being so many things has been limiting a huge part of who I am. I also realised that those weren't the only limits I was inflicting on myself, in fact I've been letting so much limit me it's not surprising the universe has been having so much fun with me. The biggest realisation though was that all these subconcious limits are in fact limiting my growth into me thereby limiting my potential to be the best me I can be. This realisation I have no doubt will of course come at a cost though and although I'm not sure what it's eventually going to be if the result is a me who is growing and achieving her potential then I say good ridance to the limits that are holding me back. I have no doubt there are going to be times when I test my limits and find they are fixed in stone and there will be times when they will be proven to be nothing more than fear or a built in belief that needs to change, I also have no doubt some will be easier to deal with than others but only time will tell which are which. In the meantime I'm looking forward and taking each moment as it comes and I hope to one day be able to say confidently and without reservation or fear that I am living my life without limits and am on my way to achieving that limitless potential we are all created with but seem to lose to fear, issues and beliefs along the way.

So here to a life of unlimited love, laughter and learning
