I will tell you something, any limitation in your life is unreal. Why did I say so?... because it's not someone else's limitation. As the saying goes "one man's bread is another man's poison".
Your background does not in any way mean restriction. While I was a child, my parents would tell me: "don't go close to dogs or they will bite you"; I then harbored dogs as dangerous animals, so I stay far from them. But I discovered that I can make these dogs my friends simply by giving them what they want. You will all agree with me that dogs are friendly even more than some human. Eventually, I made these same dogs that I was scared of years back my friends and since then my love for dogs can't be overemphasized.
You will hear some people say " I just wish I could do this, I just wish I could do that". Yes you can!!!, if you want to. Learn not to limit yourself to anything. The power is in your mind. If you can think it, you can achieve and it is very possible.
Often times, people wonder why I say "I can do it but i won't do it " this is because like i said earlier, life is a choice and it is my life and no other person's. I can choose to do what i want to do as there is no limitation for me. It is important to know that we set our limitations and our entire system responds to the way we think.
Here is another example... while growing up, i used to see people that swims as supernatural beings, the question that was always on my mind was "How could they float on water like fishes?" , I felt it was not possible for a normal person to just swim like a fish, when he or she is not one. But as time progress, i picked up interest in the act and I soon discovered that I could swim as well; it only requires constant practice and before long, the entire body system will be conformed to it. Then it was a limitation for me but now, it just "bread" for me and what do you do to breads? you eat it.
In conclusion, I will say a limitation is a mind set that is created by an individual which is unreal and created just in the man's imagination. But in the real sense of it what people see as limitations other sees it as a stepping stone to greater heights. Those things you see as limitations should be a form of motivation to take action and go higher rather than sit to complain.
Once again I will tell you that those limitations you see in your life and around you are unreal, get so close to it and you will discover that it does not exist.
When life throws you stones , you should make a nice mansion from it with a cool foundation rather than running away from the stones or allowing the stone make a grave for you.
And it is a fruitful tree that is being stoned
Thanks

Exactly! Resonated so much with this!
I personally think the seed of this are insecurities we all have and the lack of self-confidence. The good thing is that confidence is a skill and we can develop it. I've written a post about this about for people who want to read more about it.
Interested, how can one join the euronation team?
Thanks!

Please check my latest post or search for euronation steemians on telegram. Thanks.
i just realized that it's not only our fears that scares or limits us, but the thoughts and views of other people discourage us.[Just because it didn't work for me, it wont work for you] and sometimes elders pass this mentality down. I think it's just left for us to make our own choices, learn from our own mistakes than say later in life {i wish i had tried that, or taken that chance]
I love this, I was lucky to read this while thinking of one. Thanks to @euronation for this
You're right @euronation. There are no limitations except the ones you make for yourself. Insightful post.
Very well said. The difference between stepping stone and stumbling block is how we use them.
Our journey to greatness starts when we begin to see obstacles differently, because they are actually our price for greatness.
Thanks @euronation & @dray91eu.

Yes, limitations exists only if allowed. Thanks for motivating me on this Sunday afternoon.

Both fear and faith actually need you to believe something you can really see.
