While doing this, "limitations" seem to be on my mind a lot more lately. Limitations are unique in that they either hold you back and you let them or you overcome them. Some are imposed on you from the outside. Some are of your own doing. When I look for a traditional job, I reminded of my own limitations.
The best analogy I can think of is the relationship of a river to its banks, an ocean to its shore. While they may remake each of their boundaries, most times those bodies of water stay within their confines. Sometimes though, they flow over their boundaries. The result is either a new landscape through destructive or even constructive means. When I think of personal limitations, I kind of think of things in the same way. I understand my own limitations and those imposed on me by circumstances outside of my control. But that doesn't prevent me from pushing the boundaries every once in awhile. It won't prevent me from calling on help, something I used to be reluctant to do, when needed. This can be good or bad. It really depends.
As I embark on this journey of starting yet another organization, I feel I have a deeper understanding of what I think lies ahead. Still, I'm not sure where I end up. Although, I feel this organization has a good chance of helping a ton of people and being successful. Staying stuck in one spot which is doing nothing is certainly not an option, nor is failure. Got to make this all happen. If I take a lesson from learning the steel pan it is this, you got to work on things every day to be credible, relevant, and good. My sail is set and I'm heading down the river. No turning back now. I can do this and will as long as I keep my focus on what lies ahead.
