When we think about our limits we often fall into the great sea of illusion: we delude ourselves into thinking we have no limits where we are completely imprisoned by them, and we seem to have insurmountable ones where it would suffice to change our perspective by a few millimeters
Going beyond one’s limits
Is to touch the pleasure of a vastness never before encountered
Is to meet one’s potential
Is to feel that you are very different from what you thought you were or could do
when the limit is crossed with kindness, respecting one’s own time, and that crossing is an act of love and not of ego (wanting to prove to oneself and others who knows what…)
then wonderful things happen
Accadi you, great expanded full and increasingly curious to see what is still beyond
All my life I have been forced to push my limits (will it be forceps birth???) so much so that I have learned over the years to literally use violence on myself in order to “hurl” myself beyond what was identified (who knows then by whom) as a limit to be overcome
At a certain point in my life, by re-action I stopped, I stopped forcing myself, straining myself, to give myself respite to give myself breathing room to get back to feeling
It was an important time, in which I gradually found a balance between stopping striving and the complete stillness I was opposing
It was a time not without “challenging” events encountered to which I went with my whole self, with an open heart to find within myself the courage to go through the events of life with respect for me, my delicacy, my deepest feeling
I felt at some point the confidence re-emerging in me, the confidence that what I was doing, how I was doing it, was fine the way it was, not because it was “right” or “perfect” in an absolute sense but because it finally aligned with me
I began to stop needing big pushes to move forward, I began to encounter situations and inspiring people, who with a glance or a very light touch helped make me feel confidant and invited me to explore how far I can go with the sole goal of meeting myself in an increasingly authentic and whole way.
“I’m lazy, I’m indolent, I have no willpower, I can’t do it, I’m not capable …..” if someone doesn’t force me I won’t progress-this is one of the great illusions/alibi of many
Listen to me well
