Old Man and the Sea

Know your limitations.  That's the simple lesson learned from reading Hemingway's classic tale.  It's a valuable lesson.

What's the best way to determine exactly what those limitations are?  Most of the time, it's determined by pushing beyond your comfort zone.  That as we all know is a challenging undertaking, not always a pleasant one, but one with potential for unexpected rewards.  Of course, consequences are equally likely.

I rely on the 7 words from my previous blog entry to keep me motivated toward goals which sometimes seem unachievable.  Funny thing about limitations is that they usually change over time.  You never know when unless you're willing to test the boundaries every now and then.
