If there is one thing that is same in every country, one problem many countries faces, it is the economy health. A lot of countries are faced with varying economic problems and setbacks which I'm choosing to tag in this post as "Barriers or Limits" as they stand against progress or successes, or they make it difficult for the citizens to achieve the height they deserve.
The economy health in different countries varies, some are in bad conditions and others are good enough. As for my country Nigeria, I can't say it is very bad here since we are still living our day to day even though many struggle through.

Using my country as a case study for this topic, Nigeria's economy is struggling in many aspects even though it is said that we do have all the resources to keep our country out of this state. In all this, there are citizens living the good life legally and comfortably with no much worries of how the economy is.
In the aspect of job opportunities, price inflation due to loss of value in the country's currency and a lot of other aspects, the country's economy is down and to be able to break limits in this situation, one has got to do the extra. First of all, one has to acknowledge what the economy of the country is holding them back on and what not, to compare and maximize where possible for better outcomes on a personal or small level.
If we should rely on our economy totally, the country will only get worse as there will be more reliabilities than capabilities. And so, I have a few tips on what we can do as citizens in a failing economy to break limits or barriers, here are they:
Get rid of the fears and insecurities that comes with it.
It is one thing to acknowledge where the problem is, it's another to get rid of the fear that comes with it. A lot of people tend to be too afraid to try something new because they feel they are not good enough or they are not being heard. In a failing economy, citizens could feel like no matter what they decide to do, their country state will play as an hindrance to them.
While this may be truth to some extent, deciding to do something for yourself can also mean the start for something great and even better for the people around you and the economy. So yeah, break limits in a failing economy by facing your fears.
Learn to win in struggling situations.
This would require more on a personal level, you decide not to stay unemployed just because the employment economy is failing. Learning new ways to earn and make a living should be more like a habit to citizens in a failing economy. There are like a thousand kind of skills to learn and practice that would earn a lot of money.
Even with the introduction of AI, which seem like a threat to manpower and skills, there are still a lot we can get done even better that AI can not do. It is our effort to break limit by learning what we can and using it to our advantage towards freedom in this economy.
Live in the moment and plan for what is next.
The simple act of planning can and will break down barriers. Someone said, a life with no plans is not really living. The country may have failed in planning, resulting in the bad economy but the citizens can get it right even if they encounter failure alongside. Successes don't come easy anyways but it is way better to plan while you live in the moment.
Don't limit yourself to your country's economy, break those limits and try something out of the box for you and those around you. A small positive change from you can affect a lot in the economy. This is an entry to the Posting Spree Challenge by
