 Earlier in the year I had a brief holiday in Spain, I found it very interesting to observe my fellow holiday makers taking full advantage of the “no limits” appeal of the buffet in the dining room.

I’m not sure what takes over when we are faced with so much choice and given permission to eat yourself silly! For some this means eating exactly what they eat at home only 3 times as much! What’s the point of that when there is there’s so much choice and new things to try and discover.

(Although deep fried broccoli and cauliflower – Why?)

For some the allure of pizza and chips at every meal is all too tempting. I made pact with myself that not one chip would pass my lips, I also went out walking in the morning, nice and early to see what the world was doing before everyone got up to disturb it!

Now, I know you are wondering where this is going; well it strikes me if only we could apply this no limits approach of gorging at the “buffet of life”. To take advantage of all the opportunities that are on offer to us, to try new things, take on new challenges, travel to far off places. Sometimes this takes a leap of faith into the unknown, which is probably why some people shy away from taking that step; this means that we often miss out on chances to learn new things, meet new people, change job or career direction, develop new skills and have adventures.

“If you limit your choices to only what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.”

Unfortunately, this may also mean that we do not have a chance to develop our full potential; never really discovering what we are truly capable of, perhaps only using a quarter of our capacity throughout our life.

We often have our own limiting beliefs about what we feel we are capable of and use these to rule out opportunities. We often put the blame on someone else; may be someone told you couldn’t or you were not allowed; but you are your own person so the sky’s the limit!

Human potential is limitless; but you need to find ways to stretch and challenge yourself.

So ask yourself these questions:

Are you living a no limits life?

Are taking everything you can from the “buffet of life”?

Are you reaching your full potential in all areas of your life?

What have you done for you lately?

What is your next challenge?

Say “YES” to life!
