"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." - Arthur C. Clarke Today I finished a grueling workout with my personal trainer. He asked me, "How was that?" and I responded, "That was the peak of what I could do, but I finished." Then he talked about upping the ante next time. Friday. Of this week. I exhaled more air than I had taken in and said "I don't know if that's possible." To which he responded, "Wait. Are you here to work out or to push yourself?" This seemingly simple question echoed through me and gave me insight to many of the things I've encountered over the last few years as a healer and a human. My life is completely unrecognizable from a few years ago: I am in control of myself, my career, my relationships; I have freedom from emotional bondage, liberation from others' approval and persmission, and healthy, adaptable boundaries. Things are good. And it's because I have truly learned to live at the edge of my limits; constantly pushing forward, constantly learning new things, and ceaslessly improving upon every challenge I face. Because I am in love with myself I am always looking to be the best version of myself. I deserve nothing less. And my lifestyle reflects that more and more. So the question is: how does one move beyond one's limits? Lots of ways.
Know Thyself; Love Thyself; Heal Thyself. Amen.
