I had an interesting conversation with a friend over the phone. While people know what having limits mean, creating them isn’t something we can easily or even want to do. Everyone has had their fair share of experiences where defying limits seemed like the right thing to do. Like giving up something important to fulfill a dream - no matter how ambiguous, out of reach, and out there that dream is. 

Most people think that believing is the only thing that matters, that it will make all the difference, even if it may take a long time before it materialises. But how do you differentiate optimism from delusion, giving up from knowing your limits? At what point do you say, “this is out of line?”

Would you trade your dreams for a second-best life?
