I have been wondering a few things lately! One of the things I wondered about for the past week or so is how do you know what your limit is? Not pertaining to other people but as far as what you are able to obtain in your life.
I came up with an answer to my question as I frequently have conversations with myself and then ask for the guidance from my Creator. And there were two answers that came to me while I meditated over this question. The reason is, is because, there is always a negative and a positive side to everything. I like to look from the positive side of everything. Being a Christian affords me the ability to realize that anything can happen but the positive thing is that, according to His Word, all things work for the good. I know and believe that all things work for the good, even when that thing seems like something bad and devastating, that is an earthly thought not an heavenly one.
So the way to know what your limits are, when being negative is that you will rely on what those around you are saying. They will say things like, you don't have the training or the education to do that job. Or they may say that you don't fit the description of someone that holds that position. Maybe the will even say something like you can't do that because no one that looks like, or thinks like or acts like you have ever done this before. The pessimist or the negative people will let this dictate their limits for them. Then there are my favorite types of people, the positive thinkers.
The positive thinkers will hear all of the same criticisms as the negative thinker but, they will flip the information given to them. So if there is someone that is telling them that they can't do it because of the lack of education or training, then they will go hard on the learning. Really, no one has ever died thinking, I have learned too much in my life. The positive people will take the fact that there has never been anyone that looks, thinks or acts like them accomplish this goal before, propel them towards that goal. This is the perfect opportunity for them to be a trailblazer. A positive person will base their limits on themselves and only themselves because someone will always be able to come up with a reason why not.
