There are often times when we feel like we can’t achieve something because of various obstacles in our way. Whether it’s time, money, or other people’s opinions, we start to believe these barriers define what we can and cannot do. However, this quote reminds us that the true limits we face are the ones we choose to accept. The moment we decide that something is impossible, we limit our own potential. If we constantly focus on the reasons we can’t do something, we only trap ourselves in a cycle of self-doubt.

Take the example of someone wanting to start a business. They might face challenges like limited funds, lack of experience, or fear of failure. But by accepting these as permanent barriers, they may never even try to take the first step. On the other hand, if they refuse to be limited by these challenges and find creative solutions—perhaps by seeking out small loans, learning on the go, or embracing failure as a learning opportunity—they can push past these obstacles and move closer to their goal. The key is not allowing any excuse to stand in the way.

Success comes when we stop making excuses and start putting in the effort to achieve our dreams. By removing the limits we set for ourselves, we open up new possibilities. Going “all in” means pushing through the discomfort and embracing the journey, knowing that with hard work and perseverance, the only limits left are the ones we’re willing to accept.
