Loved the video on surffing. set the bar high, is good and required in this competetive world.

Hi Srini,

I happended to read this blog today….great one…speaks a lot. Loved the video on surffing.

set the bar high, is good and required in this competetive world. At the same time its important to see how to get the support systems in place, right networking in place to reach the bar…

Rightly said..there is not limit…but for it being in our minds.

What's worse than your own imposed limits is seeing the limits of others. So many friends of mine in college did not get jobs because they put too many limits. They would only look in a few geographic religions, or they did not see how their degree could give them a foot in many fields... It's so frustrating to watch, especially when you did not have those limits on yourself. For example, I know the main reason I got a well-paying job with benefits is I looked in a different state that had teacher-shortages. I had no problem getting a job so it's frustrating to see all my unemployed friends who did not bother looking for a job the way I did. Good article! Thanks!

As children, we have no limits. We want to do and conquer everything. As adults we become "realistic" and this is the reason why people never achieve great things. Aim for the stars and you will achieve beyond your wildest dreams. Thanks for the reminder as I needed that. You hit the nail on the head. As children, we have no limits.

A person limits himself from moving toward his goal because he is caught in the worry cycle; he is immobilized by fear which hinders him from achieving his goal. To overcome this, an individual should identify his underlying values. What are the experiences that he wants to get out of his goals / objectives? This would help him focus on the positive aspects of his life, thus, helping him overcome self-imposed limitations. .-= JM @ Calgary Psychologist´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.calgarypsychology.com/psychology-and-you/lived-life-life-lives" rel="nofollow">In a lived life, life lives</a> =-.
