The possibilities of limitations
Too many dreams get washed away by what we call limitations: not knowledgeable enough, not enough time, too many competitors...
What if we embraced those limitations instead? They could serve as stepping stones instead of obstacles — a pointer to the bare essence of our endeavors.
Let's say I had a goal with this blog. My mother tongue is Swedish. I will never be able to write as well as someone who grew up speaking and reading English.
Instead of seeing this as mere limitations, I could turn it into possibilities:
- I could write in a very simple way.
- I could write short and spot-on.
- I could do it in a "or, as we say in Sweden" kinda way.
Just a few ideas off the top of my head, but you catch the drift. Or, as we say in Sweden: "fatta galoppen" (catch the gallop).
Let’s learn to see the possibilities that lie within every limitation. They are there, if we look close enough.
