hello everyone! Have you tried doing something beyond your limits? I mean for someone you really love and you never want to lose, are you willing to do anything for them? I experienced this recently and I just found new limits within myself. I did something beyond my limits and after doing it, I realized that I could really go further and it felt great that at the very second I am about to give up, I pushed myself harder just to make it and I did. It really made me proud! what about you, do you have anything similar? Please do share.

oh yes I have actually pushed myself to live on the edge. I have done sky diving alone on a free drop from 14000 feet, I have floated on rough high seas waters over the Atlantic, I have climbed mountain elevations, I have run 740 miles over the time of 2 months. I have pushed myself to leg press 520 pounds and I am only 5 feet 4 in. tall. Now I am working at joining my beloved girlfriend who lives in Europe. So yes I love the edge.

no i dont. i still left something for me. and so if i know that its already beyond my limit then ill just let go of it specially if i didnt see that his also fighting the same for me. maybe someday if i found someone who well deserve to have it but on my previous relationship, heck no. i just let them go, besides if they really want me then they will be the one to find their way back to me.

Yes, there are many times where I feel like I have to push my limits beyond what they should be all sane reason be. Both for myself or others, it really does not matter. And it has been done to varying degrees of success. There were times where I was pleased and quite satisfied of what I accomplished. Then there were many other times where I fell completely on my face and failed in the most spectacular manner possible. Oh, well, at least I tried. I think there are those times where I try and fit about three days of work into a day. Yeah, that can be rather frustrating for me. I am struggling and trying to get through everything. And its not enough that it has to be done, it has to be done right and complete. So I get frustrated that everything is not completed in a timely manner. Still, I am surprised at how much more I can get done than I thought and then there are times where there is no surprise that I did not get that much done. So, indeed, my limits have been pushed. And I have succeeded a lot of the time. Failed a fair amount of the time as well. However, no matter what, I have always tried despite the fact that logic tells me that it i might not be the best idea to. So I have that much going for me.
