Chapter 3: Unlimited Love Ceilings
Let’s talk about limits. Circumstance, time perception, self-confidence and strength of passion come together to determine the limits of your being and abilities.
The circumstance is the world outside of you.
Time perception is your estimation of what there is time for.
Self-confidence is your belief in the potential of who you are.
Strength of passion is the love of your being or ability.
For starters, we are all in complete control over the factors that contribute to what our limits are. For some extremely limited people, simply, they are not controlling these factors. But considering the complexities of societal challenges, traumas, physical limitations and mental strain, alongside the four factors themselves; it would be ignorant to say pushing our own limits would come easy.
Thankfully, the ever expansive world teaches us that breaking the limits on what ‘a limit’ is, will give us the necessary clarity to apply its lessons elsewhere.
The universe is unlimited.
The universe gets larger and smaller.
Meaning while the universe or outer-space is expanding, the reverse is the molecular, atomic, quark world that comprises all matter and energy.
The larger our understanding of the ‘macro’ world, the more complex it gets. So, we generalize to a point of simplicity until we can understand it to a single word; God.
The larger our understanding of the ‘micro’ world, the more complex it gets. Therefore, we may stop considering tiny organisms ‘life’ since they feel too small to have the depth we need to recognize it; ‘life’.
Once you are able to conceptualize the limitless nature of the world, transfer that concept to your mind and consciousness.
The mind is a world of infinite potential so long as your consciousness can handle its size.
As well as your consciousness reaching peak connection to life itself so long as the mind can keep still.
The four factors (circumstance, time perception, self-confidence and strength of passion) can be modified to reach the same depth as the external world.
Changing the circumstances of your life will lead to growth and reflection.
Allowing yourself to spend time on your growth and reflection, not rushing it.
Acknowledging your flaws alongside your strengths will be growth and reflection.
Searching for deep admiration, appreciation and gratitude in something specific will lead to growth and reflection.
Thinking of limits as a ceiling, your reflection works to push the ceiling higher. You stare up at a ceiling that is out of reach, whether slightly or increasingly so. The more you reflect and realize that the ceiling is higher than you thought, the more learning something new or having a moment of clarity will benefit you.
This is because growth, is your ability to touch the ceiling. You remember the ceiling can always go higher; humility. You jump towards the ceiling getting better and better through reflection and growth.
Is it possible to push the limits on what things and parts of people you can fall in love with?
Is it possible that the limit you feel you have, can be pushed further if you stop letting a specific thing block your potential?
Are you in your own way?
And if it’s not you, is it your ego telling you what you can do and what can’t be done?
Are you forcing what is and isn’t for you?
If you tap into your imperfectness and answer these questions honestly, your self-understanding will become unlimited. This is because you’ll have to accept the places you hold yourself back and what that means to the image of yourself you created in your head.
