Paradox of limitation

The paradox of limitation.

People seem to have unlimited potential. We tell children, you can be anything that you want to be. But can a child be anything? There are limitations. Yet at the same time there are no limitations. Even the direction of the limitation can’t be determined. Simultaneously we are bound by our perception of limitation in some tangible way. This is the real struggle of educational values. “I can” thinking is necessary to achieve that which is desired against the opposition. “I can” is not a panacea for world hunger. This is a difficult issue that must be wrestled with if we are to be balanced in our approach to possibility. The heart must be a guide that puts the correct boundaries on us because we cannot do it all and we cannot do it alone. The heart must seek out that path of peace that cannot be disturbed by anything that happens and yet remains true to the path. Herein is one answer to the paradox of limitation.
