“Once we accept our limits, we move beyond them.”
~ Albert Einstein
It takes confidence and courage to acknowledge there are areas where you could improve – but this is true for everyone. No one is perfect, and everyone struggles with something. It’s the people who are willing to take an honest look at their weaknesses who consistently grow stronger.
Only in identifying your limitations can you stretch yourself and redefine what’s possible.
When
you feel challenged professionally, socially, emotionally, or intellectually, remind yourself that you can always grow wiser, stronger, and smarter. Once you accept yourself for who you are without judgment or shame, you give yourself every opportunity to do that.
Knowing, accepting and loving who you are is the first step in becoming who you can be.
While I tried to search for more articles related to this quote,
I stumbled upon a French trader/mentor’s diary by Ramón Morell
with many more entries of nice quotes from day to day.
“Once we accept our limits, we move beyond them.” is not only a sentence pronounced by Albert Einstein but a crtieria he followed while revolutionizing our knowledge about physics and the universe.
He was a genius indeed, self learning Geometry at 11 and demonstrating Pithagoras theorem at 12 while learning integral and differential calculus. When he faced his limits, he explored new ways to go beyond them.
This is a strong and positive reference for us.
