Stoke the fire: 7 motivational quotes on pushing limits

Most of the times, limits stop us from chasing, creating, improving, and achieving more. Those boundaries are set unconsciously, and average common people are not even aware of their existence. However, progress happens only when we endure the pain, remove the limits and push a little bit more than we used to, despite all the setbacks and adversity. Likewise, when we refuse to fall in the pit of self-doubt and pity, mental toughness and grit build up, aspiring you to grasp more and achieve the desired results. When was the last time you sought to push past your comfort zona and do something constructive that you’re not keen on? Here’re 7 catalyst quotes to make you believe that you can handle anything and everything!

“Either push your limits or suffocate in your comfort zone” -Arun Purang

“Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real, of the possible.” – Henry Reed

“Our governor is buried deep in our minds, intertwined with our very identity. It knows what and who we love and hate; it’s read our whole life story and forms the way we see ourselves and how we’d like to be seen. It’s the software that delivers personalized feedback—in the form of pain and exhaustion, but also fear and insecurity, and it uses all of that to encourage us to stop before we risk it all. But, here’s the thing, it doesn’t have absolute control. Unlike the governor in an engine, ours can’t stop us unless we buy into its bulls*t and agree to quit.” -David Goggins

“There are no limitations to the mind except those that we acknowledge.” -Napoleon Hill

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” –Thomas Jefferson

“Most of us give up when we’ve only given around 40 percent of our maximum effort. Even when we feel like we’ve reached our absolute limit, we still have 60 percent more to give! […] Once you know that to be true, it’s simply a matter of stretching your pain tolerance, letting go of your identity and all your self-limiting stories, so you can get to 60 percent, then 80 percent and beyond without giving up. I call this The 40% Rule, and the reason it’s so powerful is that if you follow it, you will unlock your mind to new levels of performance and excellence in sports and in life, and your rewards will run far deeper than mere material success.” -David Goggins

“You only know yourself when you go beyond your limits” ― Paulo Coelho, 

Finally, through the constant willingness to learn and expand our horizons and imagination, we can be sure that we’re set in the right direction. Always strive to shoot for higher summits once you achieve one, and never settle for what you already have. There’re so many opportunities out there waiting to be grasped!
