..And what if you can't overcome these obstacles?

Then you have met your limitations/boundaries.

I like to think that I don't have limitations. If I can't overcome something, I change something about myself to overcome it.

Everyone has limitations. You guys always bug me for pushing myself too hard, and I hated it... but I finally accepted that perhaps I have limitations on how much I can really do. You need to find your limits and not push yourself too hard.

Pushing the boundaries of your limitations is what makes life interesting. It's the pursuit of bettering yourself. This, though, only applies to so many things. The things that you talk about, perhaps, do not fit in this category, in which case I would agree. But, I believe there are some things worth fighting for.

I believe that a person has no limitations, even is things seem impossible, in some way or another it is possible. Granted you can't fly, but the things I speak of are completly do-able.

What are you talking about? I can totally fly.

"One day Ill fly away. Leave all this to yesterday. Why live life, from dream to dream...And dread the day, when dreeeeeeaming ends."
Yes, we can fly away, metaphorically.

Everyone has limitations, whether you believe in them or not. I like to think that we all have limitations, but by pushing yourself and pushing them, your limitations expand, and you can accomplish more because of it. It's like a balloon; at first it can hold very little air, but push it and put pressure on it and it will hold more and do more. I was going to do the analogy with a calus or a muscle.. but i figured that a balloon would be more prudent.

Limitations are simply an excuse to give up...

I agree with Brain. If the boundary of Limitations can be pushed, how can you call them limitations? That's an oxymoron. Limitations are what you put upon yourself, but that does not make them real. It's all power of the mind.

And the mind lies. It makes the things you believe real in your mind, even if they're not. If you truly believe something will happen...then it will. The human mind is an astonishing piece of work...

Human beings in themselves are imperfect, and it is because of our imperfection that we are given boundaries.
I agree with brain to an extent, as in saying that human beings can accomplish anything, but it is not on our own. Through God, a human being can do anything. Within a human being lies the ability to do anything and accomplish everything, but on our own, we can't get there; we can't find it; we can't use it.
The human mind is an extraodinary thing, yes, but it all depends on what you consider extraodinary. What the human mind is capable of is beautiful, but it is also horrifying.

I think it's because of the fact that we have boundaries that enables us to dream about what could be accomplished. When people saw birds flying majestically in the sky, they imagined what it would be like if they too could. It was because of that dream that we crafted wings of wax, planes, gliders... People saw the sky at night and wondered what it would e like if they could land among the stars, and in the mind 1900's they rocketted a man into space. We have limitations, some things you have to accept even if it's ugly, but it doesnt always have to be that way. I doubt in the early roman era they had the technology to build planes and rockets, so they had to wait and dream. However, nowadays we have pilots roaming all over the globe.

I think you're mistaking limitations to boundaries. Boundaries can be pushed, but the word 'limitations' suggests that they are the extent of our reach, that there is no further we may go. Maybe it's just me, being an English freak, but I think you're confusing the difference.
