Limitations
Have you ever felt limited by
something in your life? You’ll probably say yes, and if that’s the case then
this article is for you.
Do you believe in magic?
You may think that limitations come from the outside
and I’m her to tell you they are not, they all come from inside you and this
might come as a surprise to you, but this is actually real and also you build
your world around, again this is weird, but if you don’t believe me you won’t
get what you want, so let me help you do this.
Anxiety
First of all, let me give you an example of mine.
Since the day I can remember I’ve had some level of anxiety, I don’t know
whether it’s hereditary I developed it or it just appeared randomly, but it had
been sticking with me a long time ago. And it hits me this way: whenever
something important in a high level according to me, for this to happen I also
have to be self-aware of the situation that’ll happen, then I start to get
nervous and then stressed, or up sided down doesn’t matter, and finally I start
to shake and there is when anxiety comes just to say hi. Now this have happened
to me a lot of times, but especially when I’m going to travel or to start
something new like another school year and things like that.
Meta-anxiety
This is something I honestly don’t like to talk about
because, well, it also makes me anxious (meta-anxious:0), but that doesn’t mean
I haven’t tried to make myself get calmed down, and also because its
uncomfortable for me to talk about it I haven’t made almost any research about
it, but with the help of time; and some self-control, I’ve been able to handle
it better even though I haven’t (and probably never will) get over it, I can
say that now at least I can sleep better before a trip or a school thing. Actually
now I can say I’m better than ever before, so this is what I have, now you might
be wondering how did I get pasted this “illness” or you might be thinking that
what I’ve said I did sounds cliché and very general, maybe even fake or
compromised, and you’re not wrong; well not totally, and that’s why I want to
talk about specific examples of what I’ve done to get better at handling this,
and also at handling anything in general, so stick with me.
Curiosity in me
Basically, I’m a very curious person, and when I say
very I mean it, It’s like people will often take you as obnoxious and nosy, but
it’s just that you want to know and be on everything around you, and the fact
is that, that’s physically impossible, no matter how hard you try, or how much
you desire it, you’ll always be missing something (and at least to our day
technology has gotten too far to insert knowledge directly on our brains, but
it’ll be cool if they did), but that’s exactly what makes it interesting, the
fact that there’s always something out there waiting for you to discover it and
look at it directly its exactly what motivates us curious people to go forward
and look for new information (and that its actually some of the thing that to
our specie as humans has made us survive longer, even though some times on the
wrong hands its dangerous, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, coof coof), but now I’m
beating around the bush, so the idea there was for you to understand that being
curious was my double-edged sword, so when I needed it the most it was there
and when I needed it the less, well guess who was there as well, so my point
here is to let you know that whatever your problem is you should stick to your
nature and keep going through that path no matter how hard it looks, because it
won’t leave no matter how hard you try.
Back to the start
Now, you might have a bad trait that’s holding you
back, and that is the one I’m referring to, so here is the ULTIMATE SOLUTION to the
problems you face in life: just transform
or change the negative words you say to yourself in your mind into nice and
positive ones, again is easier said than done but that’s life itself, and I
don’t know if you have look at any of the successful and famous people, but
most of them are hard workers or naturally good at what they do, so the key to being successful like them it’s
just that 2 little things, that if
you put effort on them they’ll give you way
more than what you could ask or even imagine.
Finally…
You think I’m lying, I know
it, I was just as skeptical as you are right now, and I don’t want sound too raised
up, but it’s as real as it gets, and you also think this will get you right
away, yet again another common misconception of life, as the saying goes: easy
come, easy go. It applies on life more than I would like to admit, but I
can say from personal experience that it is completely true and you won’t
regret it, at least at the end, because (surprise, surprise) another
misconception, people usually don’t fall in love with processes they just like
the results, which is normal, yet totally erroneous. And this happens because
just as I said before falling in love is something merely instantaneous
and as we get the feeling we want the reward without thinking about the
implications that it will take, aside from the good ones, or anything that
comes along with it. So in conclusion to get over a limitation you need to give
in effort and make it at your own and unique style that only you know how it should be done
and do it the positive way, because last time I checked the grumpy monkeys
where hanging out with more of their kind.
