As I read a magazine today, a headline caught my attention: "Pushing the Limit." The article discussed getting the maximum benefit out of a service we purchased. My thoughts went beyond that. "Pushing the limit?... Isn't it always people saying about how we get our fulfillment and full potentials? Well, what is the limit? Should we push them? " Let's talk about it today.
From childhood, limits are set for us by rules , social norms, and "suggestions" from our parents and teachers. We get alerted and punished if we pass those limits, and gradually we stop arguing and trying to cross the boundaries. This is how society regulates everyone so it can operate systematically.
After growing up, we set our own limits based on our comfort level, which we call boundaries. These limits are meant to prevent others from hurting us but can also hold us back. We also define our own rules of life based on our beliefs, such as minimalism.
Now back to pushing the limits. We have to be aware of our limitations first and then push the limits; we do so when not satisfied with what we have or where we are, either for our current achievements or our current benefits. The pushing-limit actions are aggressive and require taking risks in life.
While some philosophers advocate for acceptance and peace in the current situation, others encourage us to be aggressive and thrive for more. Both approaches have pros and cons. It's ultimately up to us to find a balance that works for us. We need to evaluate our current situation and determine if our physical and mental condition permits us to take the next step. The bottom line is to remain healthy to stay in the game first and then pursue better results.
In summary, pushing the limits can be a double-edged sword. It can bring tremendous rewards but can also lead to negative consequences if we don't evaluate our current situation and push ourselves beyond our limits safely. Finding a balance that works for us is crucial so we will not break ourselves. We want to reach our full potential while ensuring our safety and well-being.
