All things are possible, yet not all things are practical to pursue. If we expend time and energy on areas that are not producing successful results, it is possible that we can at some point, exhaust our efforts or run out of time. In the event that such were to happen there would have been obvious signs that it was impractical to continue on.

Reality is, that we as humans have certain specific limits. The challenge therefore becomes knowing and accepting what actually has limits rather then focusing on what the limits are. If something has a limit, accept that it does, but do not place a limit on it. For example, death is inevitable, but if you limit yourself to age 75, you probably will die by then, whereas there are others who live past 100. Why couldn’t you also be one of them. I would venture to say that everyone who lives past 100 has never placed a limit on their lifespan.

Being realistic and knowing what can and should be categorized as actually having a limit and what does not is another cornerstone for success. A good way to sort limits is to only accept those that are obvious such as death is inevitable, but how long you will live is not known, lifting a million-pound rock only with bare hands is a real limit, but moving a million pounds of rocks only with bare hands, a couple of pounds at a time is possible. If it is not clear that something has a definite limit, then the successful approach is to consider it possible. The question then becomes, ‘Is it practical and wise to pursue?’
