The challenges we face do not define us – living without limits is withing reach. They don’t have such power because living without limits is a possibility. In order to successfully overcome our perceived challenges, we must adopt a positive winning attitude. Many times, the path to accomplishing the goals at hand are not clearly mapped for easy following. This is not a limitation but a window of opportunity. In moments of uncertainty, you are afforded an opportunity to think creatively as opposed to following a pre-designed model of progress. You would be surprised to discover your capabilities when you allow yourself to adopt these three keys to living without limits.
“… to keep moving up … , you have to abandon the security of that ledge and reach for another hold. Letting go of that sense of security.. is the challenge. … think of yourself as climbing a ladder. To move to the next rung, you must give up your grip and reach for the next one.” – Nick Vujicic
The 3 Keys to Living Without Limits:
1: Clarity
Clarity refers to the clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding. Steve Maraboli says it best when he says:

Thus, to attain clarity suggests that one has attained freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity. You need to know who you are, where you are going and what you want to achieve. The goals and aspirations of others can not be yours as well. As such, you may want to write down your own bucket list of goals you wish to accomplish.
Once you’ve written this list you must formulate plans to accomplish them. Remember that the 90/10 Rule must also remain applicable here as well. Set careful priorities and do something every day which makes your goals achievable. As you continue to attain the desired success you will experience greater self-confidence. By then you will clearly see that there are indeed no limits to what you can achieve.
2: Competence
How can competence be a key to living without limits? Competence is the shield you need to keep the neigh sayers at bay and prove that your success speaks volumes without uttering one word. Your competence demonstrates your skill, ability, proficiency, and capability. As Martin Van Buren said “it is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn’t”
The reality is, if you become very good in your chosen field and apply the 90/10 rule to everything, then you WILL achieve success! Recognize the fact that excellence is a continuously moving target, therefore, you must dedicate yourself to continuous learning as you grow.
3: Concentration
“The power to concentrate was the most important thing. Living without this power would be like opening one’s eyes without seeing anything.” ― Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami indeed summarized the importance of concentration quite aptly. How many times has this exact experience been your cry? Your eyes are wide open but you can’t seem to be able to find your way. This is why concentration is such a necessary skill.
When you concentrate, you actually force yourself to focus single-mindedly on one thing until (hopefully) it’s complete. Focus is a word which speaks it’s own meaning quite simply – “Follow One Course Until Successful! To be focused is to know exactly what you want and work tirelessly to achieve it. When you add the concentration to the mix, you become a force to reckon with.
With focused concentration, you are the only obstacle in your path. If you allow that concentration to remain resilient then you can accomplish the things that can make the real difference in your life. Therefore you need to dream big dreams and find ways to delegate the 90 percent of activities which waste too much of your time – I quit my 6-Figure Day Job to live the 9010 Life. Then focus your energies on doing those 10 percent tasks which actually make your dreams possible, rather than remaining as impossibilities.
