Why we limit ourselves and think that it is impossible?

Fear of failure

We all have a comfort zone where we are sure of what we can do and understand how far we can reach with our skills and abilities. In this case, the fear of failure discourages us from leaving our comfort zone, thus setting limits for us. These limits keep us from the world outside of our comfort zone and also prevent us from exploring our possibilities.

Sometimes setting limits is a form of self-protection.

After knowing ourselves, we know how much we can do. In this case, setting limits can help us take on the right amount of work to avoid overloading ourselves and then achieve self-protection. Being overloaded and under pressure may hit our self-esteem, and we may then lose our self-confidence.

How to explore our possibility?

Take action instead of just talking - We have lots of ideas and goals, but if we just talk, nothing will happen. Only taking action and work hard for it will give us real results.

Learn more skills - We may limit ourselves if we don't have the skills or abilities we need. In this case, it is important to learn more skills to enrich yourself and develop self-confidence, which can also reduce the stress you feel when facing different challenges along the way.

Choose to do the things that really matter - there are so many things around us. Try to let go of the things that don't matter and allocate our time to the things that will really bring us progress.
