0 There is no limit
6.6.2021
The limit we know is the one we created ourselves. We can always push it a little further and further and further. Today I lifted dumble 2000x in one go, I used to lift 1000x. I just wondered whether I could push my limit and I did. Other people I believe can lift it 5000x or even 100000x depends on their believe and practice. I know I can apply this to everything, reading books, running, working, eating and drinking, I can always do more, a little more. There is no particular limit to human ability. It's improvable and limitless.
In writing, I used to write about a page every day. I plan to improve it from today on to the limitless. The number will give me the progress. one page every day, then two pages, three, four, five, until one day I can write 100 pages every day, even more. I don't quite understand why people limit themselves and believe it. Therefore they make no progress anymore. They deceive themselve and turn them into something they don't. It's a bad faith most people adopted. Improvement is not only possible, it's provable immediately. Nothing and no one stops me but myself, my own false belief, my bad faith.
I used to think how a man can run a marathon, other man can barely run 100m. Where is the energy from? If the energy comes from the food, fat people have more potential energy to finish a marathon. It's not the case. I think human energy comes from his belief and faith. One can practice and turn himself into an athlete with the same body mass but totally different power. What has changed? the belief. But how? The brain makes all the adjustment. The different between rock climber and non climber is also their belief, not the body itself. No one can tell the difference between climer, swimmer, cyclist, badminton player, merely from their body. Of course the body will change as well but it's not the main reason for their power and energy.
If I decided to write every morning right after I wake up 10 pages every day for years and years, writing 10 pages becomes very easy. If I decided to add one more page every month to come, It's possible as well. That what I should do if I want to be a writer. If I want to be a meditator, I can do the same, start with small and improve it everyday for years bit by bit until one day I can do it for hours, maybe eight hours or ten hours every day. It's easy in theory and esier in practice as long as the faith is there.
I notice that every difficulty and challenge brings new ability to the next one. It's the same as playing a game, you can always go to the next level after you struggle for a while in the level. Normally you won't think that it's your end of your ability, that you will never be able to pass the level. Only in real life people tend to give up too early. That the next level and challenge is impossible for them. This behavior is self defeating behavior and must be avoided by all means by all people. You can break it and you must do it. You can always aim at 1% better than before and keep going. Just never stop until you reach your dream level.
While it sounds easy and indeed easy but very few people can do it, to improve himself continuously. They have their own reasons to fail but I see it clearly that they do not take responsibility to their improvement. They invented thousands reasons outside of his own doing. If I belive that my limit in writing article is only one page per day and then someone points a gun to my head and tell me if I don't write 100 pages, he will kill me immediately, I will be able to do it 100% of the time. No matter the content, it's not about the content, it's about 100 pages, that's all. One often invents all kind of excuses not to do it. He has that ability but he never exercises it and maybe he doesn't know because he never tries. If he tries at all, he should try not only one, but hundreds times or even thousands times to be able to see it clearly. A lot of potential, power and energy remain hidden inside a human. It's like a man builds a hut in a jungle and lives in poverty the whole life while a meter under his bed is burried a treasure that can make a city becomes rich. It's an irony but true. It is life. One often believes what is wrong just because most people also believe it. He never examines those believes and just adopts it and sees it as reality faithfully.
If one believes that true love exist, he can love truly. The world is the representation of his own mind. Most people's mind consists of 90% fear and he never tries to break out the jail of invisible bars. He lives unfree life the whole time. Maybe he lives in bad relationship with several children and he believes that his condition is his fate. He can do anything about it. It's weird that people rush to believe in faith if it's bad or sad condition. If the roof is broken, most people will just fix it without even think that it's fate and just let pray to God may rain doesn't fall. Life is just like that, Fear makes people believe everything as unfixable. It robs their power and energy to step out of their fake destiny. Yes it's not fate but fake, merely bad faith. God doesn't ask you to give up and be unhappy forever. Therefore fear nothing but God, believe in your own fear and nonsese maybe you disrespect God unintentionally.
The world is limited by one's knowledge. That's why knowledge is power. Socrates said, "There is only one good, knowledge, there is only one evil, ignorance". According to this notion, the only cause of your unhappiness is your own ignorance, the cause of your poverty, weakness, fear is your own ignorance. If you know that one meter under your bed hidden a treasure that can rich the whole city, you will definitely life happier life. But your ignorance prevents you from knowing what is there. People live happier life in struggle rather than in miserable submission to the false fate. When struggle, you gain more power that make your life meaningful even if it's miserable. Life is suffering. All people have their own suffering. Only those who understand their own suffering and voluntarily take the responsibility to change will be able to change suffering into happiness or meaningful suffering which is thousand times better than powerless and meaningless suffering.
