In life, choices can lead to incredible experiences or leave us wondering “what if?” My journey has been filled with missed opportunities due to self-imposed limitations. Every missed chance reflects and leads to personal growth.

I often avoided stepping outside my comfort zone, unaware of its limits. In middle and high school, I avoided running but discovered my athleticism through walking and biking.

But a change in my perception of physical limitations ignited a greater love for outdoor activities, which I describe in the episode.

🎧 Tune in and explore how I reset my limitations around running and being active, and what that means for me as I come to more limitations in my life.

Key Takeaways

I still experience missed opportunities due to fears of embarrassment and judgment. I’ve avoided pursuits like partner dancing due to self-doubt and fear of failure.

I understand that the ego resists change, which helps me overcome some social fears.

The ego creates a false sense of security by sticking to the familiar. Exploring new experiences requires confronting this resistance. I ask myself what I’m preserving by avoiding new opportunities and whether it truly needs this protection.

Missed opportunities define us or serve as catalysts for personal reinvention. By shifting our awareness on limitations and embracing a more flexible ego, we open ourselves to possibilities.

I hope you can reflect on your missed chances and find renewed growth and freedom.
