The Fall of Single Feather...
Limitations
When I was a kid, I believed that nothing was impossible. I seriously thought that so as long as I trained hard enough, I could probably break a concrete wall with one solid punch. I believed that I could lift a plane with my arms. I believed that anything can be done so as long as I put my mind to it.
Of course, eventually, as I got older, I realised that things aren't really that simple. No matter how much I train, the strength of my punches can never compete with a heavyweight. The reach of my arms (which is pretty short) can never increase.
Slowly and slowly I found more things that I could not do. No matter how hard I tried.
I was discovering my limits. Slowly and reluctantly, but for sure, I was learning about the limits of things that I could do.
But seriously. Isn't the entire point to challenge your limits?
Have fun.
