Beyond your limit

Suprise, Suprise!

Jaw-dropping news came for my friend. I've never imagined he could make it.

One of my friends got offers from great colleges in the UK and Australia which are famous for their hardness to get a scholarship for international students. When I met one professor in person last year, she told me that many of their domestic students are also trying to go to the States in order to get stipends throughout their studying period. It made me try to get a Korean government sponsorship, which turned into a failure in the end. After my experience, I understood that there is no chance for students who are not able to spend their money on the course. But, he achieved it. It brought me something from the deep inside of my mind.

I've made limits on many aspects. I told myself that getting an offer from these colleges won't happen and I have reiterated the limits in my mind, which, of course, have influenced my choices. I am a great achiever and seem like a successful individual on the outside, but some of the reasons for my achievement are because I've chosen my path, thinking that I am able to do that. I did that because I can take that seat if I am trying rather than asking myself about what I am really wanting to do. Now, I realize, at many of the divergences, I took the road to win or to escape failures.

Face it and Challenge it. We don't have to worry about failing too much. The fact that you are enabled to fail something means you can succeed in it. Before you challenge it and stick to it, nobody knows what will happen in the future. Rather than folding your dreams owing to its rare possibility, just go and get it till the result comes to you. Even if the outcome doesn't satisfying, it is going to be your special seeds. Run to the endpoint. You only can see something different at the finish line.

One thing I need to emphasize here is this. If you want to face and challenge something, you have to know who you are, what you like, and how to access it. Without those, you will not keep your track. You will be affected by many other imperils and obstacles. Having the power to hold your line comes from acknowledging yourself by keeping reflecting.

Let's beyond your limit.
