What does it mean to limit ourselves?

What does it mean to place them upon ourselves?

When we have limited ourselves, we have decided that we are only capable of so much, that we can only go so far, and that we only have a restricted set of abilities.

What made us decide this?

Where did we get these ideas?

Often we develop them without any trials or proof.

They are based on fear or failure, in messages given to us while growing up, or because we have let other people’s limits rub off on us.

The fact of the matter is this; no one can limit you but you.

No boss, no teacher, no partner, no colleague.

We know our abilities and our worth.

When we work toward their true potential, great things are possible.

So, this advice on how to stop limiting ourselves comes from those who refused to let it happen to them.
