If you think you can, then you can.

It is sincerely unfortunate to know that we are most times our limits. A better way of saying this is, you are the limit you set for yourself. Over time i have always thought about how a man will rise to a certain point in life and then get stuck at that point. There will be no level of advancement whatsoever, no increase, no upgrade. But then most times these limits aren't above man's capacity or should i say they are most times orchestrated by the man himself.

You are the very limit you set for yourself, If perhaps you think you can't go further or you won't be able to do something then you will see yourself ending up not doing anything. If you think you can, then you can. Life throws at us various overwhelming challenges, many times they seem so big that we tend to lose our grip and just give up. Giving up has automatically stalled, or close up the great and wonderful things that come after a challenge. Like the popular saying, "There is a light at the end of the tunnel." You will experience light no matter how long you might have been in that challenge of life. I say this oftentimes when i am about to talk about something like this, "A mind that can conceive, believe, can achieve." And that is how it is about breaking limits.

Do not set for yourself your limit. Think you can, and you will. This reminds me of the time i wanted to learn how to swim. Swimming to me has always been such an impossible task to overcome. In fact, I saw swimmers as super beings. Why and how would you go inside the water and not just float, you will go deep down and stay for minutes, even to the point of swimming with your back? Oh no, that was very very surprising to me. I really do not see myself doing that at that time. Whenever i was told to hang out with friends and their location was a pool, I stylishly withdraw and fix up something for that very day. I knew they won't just let me be, not at all, they will continue shouting my name, "Lekan, join us you don't have to go deep, you can just stay close to the side of the pool and flap your legs while still holding the side of the pool." So i told myself in other to avoid such things from happening i would rather turn down their offer of hanging out.

While i was busy turning down requests a part of me wanted to swim and experience how it feels to swim like them. So secretly i enrolled and started attending swimming lessons, and gradually i started moving short distances and the rest was history. I could remember vividly the first day i went for the lesson, Oh my goodness, I just went down the water and couldn't flow with the water. With great fear in me, my coach pulled me out and talked to me about how i must be friends and be free with the water and endeavor to follow the tides and flows. I was eventually caught by my friends that i had been planning other things just because i didn't know how to swim and i didn't want to follow them to the swimming pool. But there they were, they didn't know i have taken some swimming lessons and i can swim all by myself.

They came in and picked me up and off the pool we go. We got to the pool and as usual, I sat outside the pool pretending i still couldn't swim, they shouted as usual, "Lekan, come in you don't have to swim just stay by the edge of the pool and flap your legs." I look at them still acting up, I took off my clothes, went for a shower, and then i ran and jumped in the pool from the deepest part. They all screamed out loud, "Oh my gosh." I intentionally stayed underwater for few minutes and i could hear their voices, "We shouldn't have told him to join us, you cause it, No you did." The argument continued, and then i decided to "rise from the dead." They were astonished and clapped in awe, their words turned to a song "Go, Lekan, Go Lekan." It was really a lovely moment for me because i was able to break the swimming view of super beings and the limit i set for myself.

Do not forget to like and share this with as many people as you would love to see their lives changed for the best.

If you can think it, then you can do it.

Break that limit today!
