Phun-size Philosophy # 9 – Pushing Boundaries

Everybody has certain boundaries imposed upon them from birth in almost every aspect of life. We are all born with a set of skills and talents that vary from person to person. Some people are very smart while other can be great artists or maybe both. Because we all aren’t born on a level playing field, we need to rely on our actions in order to get ahead in life. While it isn’t necessarily to be better than everyone else or for that matter even compare yourself to them, you do want to be the best you can be personally and that comes from pushing those boundaries. By constantly pushing what you’ve done in the past you constantly raise the bar of what you are capable of doing in the future. You expand your limits and the only way to do so is to get out of the comfort zone you’ve lived in. You must do so in order to show what you are truly capable of. There are so many tests in life that help set the stage in order to display what we are. Ranging from the SAT’s to the sports games, we all are put into situations where we need to show off what we can do and they create motivation and essentially a need to get better in order to beat the opposing team or get into the college we want. We all have points where we can’t improve anymore but with practice and determination we can always seem to move our boundaries little by little. We are naturally improving and by constantly increasing what you’ve done in the past there is no way that you can’t go up from your current position. It can only go up if you put your heart in everything you do and that is the key secret to success and it’s not a secret anymore. : P
