A turning point

[kjpepper]

Something I realized when baking a cake this evening:

Life should not be defined by limitations, handicaps, or fear of failure.

Life should be defined by possibilities, challenges, the occasional crazy risk and having the balls to give something a chance.

Instead of saying for sure that you can't, try saying maybe you can. You'll never know until you do. (Or do not. There is no try.)



Something to live by.

Just as that which yields is not always weak, those who choose to live within limits are not always doing so out of fear or lack of daring. There are challenges on all paths. Giving up some things can lead to a greater depth of others.
Keeping all options open, giving all possibilities a chance is limiting in its own way as well.
(I do understand what, and about whom, you were talking when you wrote this...and I happen to agree. I am addressing the more general philosophical point...which, for obvious reasons, is one I have an interest in and have spent a lot of time thinking about.)
