Some people have wonderful ideas of things they want to do, but they feel they are being limited by one or two things. Some feel they are disadvantaged by nature, why some create their own limitations. Whichever way, I want to make you know that you can soar higher than your supposed limitations.
The story of Helen Keller is one of my greatest motivating factors. Anytime I feel like giving-up, I remember this great woman that had almost everything working against her, yet she ended up being a world figure. From 19 months old, Helen Keller was blind, deaf and could not speak clearly all through her life time. However, she overcame adversities to become a lecturer, author, crusader and a human right activist.
What about her teacher Anne Sullivan? This woman was able to achieve the impossible through patience, intelligence and endurance. Yeah, many people would have argued that it wasn't possible to teach someone like Helen Keller, but Anne was able to overcome that.
Don't allow anything limit you from achieving your dreams. I see a lot of people complain that poverty is the greatest set back they're having. For every determined person, poverty or any other thing cannot stop them. It's only a matter of determination, persistence, diligence and passion. When I invite some people to join steemit and they complain that they don't have enough money to buy data or they don't have a smart phone, I tell them that they are not determined to join.
When I joined steemit it wasn't easy for me. I had to stay awake all night to do night browsing which was cheaper cos I couldn't afford buying data that would last longer. I also borrowed the modem I used for my internet connection. Today, I have enough money to buy enough data for my internet connection, a good smart phone and a modem. I can even help others with their hospital bills. I could afford all that from my earnings here. If I had succumbed to challenges, I wouldn't have been able to achieve all that.
I've realized that good things don't always come easily. There are always giants in everyone's promise land. You can't be a champion if there was no contest. You have to realize that life is full of contests. You are daily contesting with obstacles and challenges in different forms. Your ability to overcome them is what makes you a champion. Being a champion in your life's pursuits is what makes life meaningful and worth living.
Instead of sitting back and complaining about your limitations, why not overcome them by going the extra mile? Make sacrifices. Complaining will take you nowhere. Be determined. Be focused. Be persistent. Be zealous. Lukewarmness will not allow you achieve anything worthwhile.
There is no limitation for anyone who is passionate and determined to succeed in achieving a goal. The only limitation you are facing is the one you permitted.
In what way have you been able to overcome your limitations? Please share in comments below.
