Self-limitation

Dear blog,

What are your limits?

Would you walk across that line that separates you from the "capable" and the "not capable"?

Would you do anything just to change the depressing situation you are at?

Would you show resistance to change even if it means snapping your unused wings?

Would you be considered a freak for attempting the "impossible" in normal people's perspective?

Dare to be different for once?

The western civilization admires men who would take the plunge and have the guts to do things beyond their limitations.The eastern philosophies, on the hand, advocates that man should be more aware of his own capacity and be more submissive towards a greater power.

So tell me, which ideology is realistic in this modern world?

When we choose to ignore something that is always there haunting us with the sense of frustration and irritation, we expose ourselves to a unique state, whereby we are encouraged to make decisions to deal with the situation.

How do you do that? Realizing your self limitation!

Since, it is easier for us to pinpoint our self worth and limits, why is it still hard for us to make decision? As we all know, life is not simply a matter black and white.There's always this shady gray region that has kept itself so distinctly close and yet so mysteriously to our eyes.

When we are troubled by something such as financial crisis or academic worries, we start questioning ourselves. Whether we can do it? Whether the risk is worth it? Should we call quits when the moment is ripe? When we start stacking our minds with these questions, we are being placed within this gray area that serve as a temporary resting place before we head ourselves to the next destination.What destination? The areas beyond the gray region, the place where we put our capabilities to the test or we shirk away from deleterious elements that lurks in the unseen path ahead.

So what really influences our choice at the very end of our journey in life?

Our limits and our choice to push these limits further.
