" know your limits. never accept them. "

agreed. perhaps that's why I posted it. who even decides the limit? ourselves? society? common sense? uncommon sense? I'm not really sure. sometimes I wonder if fear alone is the reason we put restraints on ourselves. why? because people are too arrogant to recognize their fear of being wrong. but being wrong can be such a beautiful thing; being wrong reveals character, reveals an entirely unexplored side to life. how much more of life would be unknown if we finally decided to accept that sometimes we have to be wrong? you have to be wrong to know what's right, just like you have to do right to know what's wrong. all of these go hand in hand (not too atypical)..but that in itself opens eyes.
has there ever been a time you've let fear dictate your actions over your actual desires? have you ever had feelings for someone and allowed fear to stop you from acting? have you ever felt you held potential, and allowed fear to make you feel insecure? at the end of the day, it seems very easy to overlook what had feared you in the morning. it's the natural process of knowing that life does indeed go on. but then is that why people continue to live within their limits? could it be that we're too used to that feeling of regret, that we no longer desire to overcome it? I don't know. I just don't know someone who hasn't taken a risk in their life and felt worse off afterwards.
you find out something new about each person each day. as cliche as that sounds, it's true. everybody has multiple sides. people can't even define themselves, how can you define another person? you can't know what somebody else is thinking; therefore you shouldn't care what somebody else is thinking. take a risk, try something new that has always attracted your attention. who knows? even if it doesn't work, at least you have a good story to tell..and maybe more of an understanding of yourself.
