“When the sky’s the limit? How can you tell you’ve gone too far?”
I have come to believe in my own life that all challenges
are really blessing in disguise.
I have already spent most of my life
testing the edges of limits, my own and
those I’ve encountered along my rock-strewn path.
I am born a questioner so I said to my self,
“Who said the sky’s the limit? Is it really
a limit or just a part of our wild imaginations?
And how can we know a limit is really a limit?
Is it unless we test its edges or having the chance to be there?”
No one has ever reached the sky, right?
Isn’t it a proof that no one has ever reached the limit?
Many people had already gone too far.
They have already reached what they want to reach but not the sky.
So I’ll ask you again. Is the sky’s the limit?
I went looking for answers to this questions, books, internet’s and even friends. They say that the sky is limitless in possibilities.
It’s not about the limits;
it is all about the possibilities.
We are thinking that the sky is really the limits because
we are bound by the limits of our beliefs.
We define what we think is real and what we ourselves will become.
So, we must be careful in what we always believe.
Human beings tend to enact or make real what they
believe about themselves and others.
But I do believe in God who loves me and I pray to him.
Aren’t there limits we cannot change simply by believing?
Of course, there are. Some persons struggle with terrible poverty.
Some carry burdens of abuse and some experiences
that others will never know.
A known writer said “once we’ve above the survival level,
the difference between prosperity and poverty
lies simply in our degree of gratitude.”
How can we know our limits? We can’t.
It is only through testing and pushing against
the limits of our perceptions and experiences
that we can be a force of change.
So, the sky is not the limits but endless
possibilities and it is we who perceive and impose
limits where none exist, and if we don’t test the
limits of our perceptions and our abilities,
we will never know what lies beyond.
