The best way to learn what you are capable of is to be forced to go beyond your perceived limitations.

Most of us place limitations on ourselves far before the end of our true capabilities.

At Mystic Dojo - Yamashita International Karate last night, we were instructed to partner up and perform a side kick to our partner's upper arm then a roundhouse kick to their other arm at chest level.

As described, I would think that was impossible. I can't kick that high. I'm not that flexible. But Kyoshi says kick, you kick, so I kicked...

...and I hit the target! I didn't do any special stretches. Just tried, and succeeded at something I didn't think I could do.

How many places in your life are you holding yourself back, believing that you cannot do it when the potential lies within you?
