How far are you willing to push yourself in order to achieve your goals? 

“The sky is the limit”

How far are you willing to push yourself in order to achieve your goals and desires?

“You can”

“If you put your mind to it, you can succeed”

Sorry for spoiling the party, but THERE ARE LIMITS.

It all depends on the person’s context, but here are some examples:

  • It impedes on your boundaries (will talk more about this on another day!)
  • Your only focus (for a looooong, too long time) is this purpose
  • It impedes on you looking after your physical and mental health
  • It harms your relationships with your partner, friends or family

Hold on! I’m not saying GIVE UP, what I am saying is ADAPT.

Meaning:

  • You cannot ‘can’ everything at any given time (and it’s ok)
  • Adapt the rhythm of hustle. To your context, to your other responsibilities, to your health, to your life stage, etc.

This is not a eulogy on laziness (god forbid!). But a reminder to pay proper attention to yourself and your context, to be mindful…

To not lose yourself while you try to reach for that Something Else.

And you, can you relate?

Is that dream of yours crashing into your life, destroying everything that comes across or are you aware of the limits and adapting to them?

Love,

Noemi
