Beyond Your Limit


"Having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics;

As good as it is possible to be"

 

As good as it is possilbe to be.

 

As good as it is possible to be.

 

This is the definition of perfect,

Not just a random blog post,

Not just urban dictionary,

This is the definition of perfect. 

 

As good as it is possible to be?

As good as it is possible to be?

What does that even mean?

 

First, what is possible?

Well, if the only thing impossible is

The impossible, than

Everything else is possible, right?

That's a no-brainer, I get it.

But who says what is possible?

Impossible:

"Not able to occur, exist, or be done"

So for someone to say something is "impossible,"

They must know a lot, right?

I mean they know the limitations of what can or cannot exist, right?

 

Wrong.

How can anyone know that much?

What is possible for you is

What you say is possible.

"Impossible" is a word for the

Non-dreamers.

Non-believers.

 

And that's not me.

The best I can possibly be is

All I ever want to be.

That is perfect.  That is flawless.

Criticism is fuel with which

We must burn to reach our goals.

 

And my goal is perfection.

The best I can possibly be.
