Life is so beautiful, a wonderful experience that leaves us to float as we live. We are born into the world to live without an option but to live until it's time.
Some are born wealthy, some not; some are born healthy, some not; some are born whole while some not and as we all know, there's a flip side to everything.
I sit at the edge of life right now to enjoy every intricacies that life has to offer that life has to offer because sometimes it good, sometimes it's not.
Experiences have left me puzzled but at the end lies the answers.

The question to the limitation to what we can achieve is a simple one if you agree.
Simply put, there is a limit to what we can achieve because we are that limit.
Yes, life is not a bed of rose as we have come to live it, we already know that nothing falls on our laps without putting in the work.
GIGO - Garbage In Garbage Out, this is why I love life life because whatever it is that is put in, that's what comes out.
Just like standing on front of a mirror, what is seen?
Just a reflection of ourselves.
What can we achieve in life?
We simply can achieve anything we want for ourselves except we stand between ourselves and what it is to be achieved.
As I always say outrightly, we are who we are.
Whoever we perceive ourselves to be, we would be that.
Sometimes, there are events that unveil themselves in our lives beyond our comprehension, beyond our control that I agree but that which is within our control is much larger than that which which we can't control.

I recall my experience in college, left me bamboozled. I've never failed in life but my biggest and greatest failure all happened in college.
I wouldn't say I'm one that took academics lightly but failure came anyways.
My first first five years studying electrical/electronics engineering were the craziest years in my life that tore my heart into shreds but who would understand this more than myself?
I had to seat and tell myself the blind truth, I wasn't doing my best. The so called best I called best was not good enough.
My last two extra years in school is an indication that there's no limit to what we can achieve in life. We are the deciding factor of life.
Yes, failure exist, sickness exist, stagnation exist but we remain the deciding factor because failure can turn to success in a heart beat, sickness can turn to health in no time, stagnation becoming freedom when we let go.
I decided to change my paradigm in my last two years and yes, all things worked out as planned.
My two extra years became more interesting and better than the first five years.
Becoming the better version of myself even though I read, I had to read better. Everything I did had to be done better and with total and absolute concentration, leaving no stone unturned.
Yes, there is no limit to what can be achieved in life, we are the limit.
There have been gold medalist athletes without legs, people born into poverty that became wealthy, dropouts who have become world class leaders, cowards becoming heroes.
How else can it be?
It all starts with us, our decision to rise above ourselves when we are truly ready, we would move.
