Is it really possible to be more successful by limiting yourself?

Yes.

But limits are supposed to be evil and dirty; the enemies to our inner free spirit. Right?

Well what I’ve realized is that sometimes limits are actually the key to your success.

The Difference

There are unconsciously ingrained self-limitations. And there are consciously chosen self-limitations.

Great post.

One of my favorite quotes is: "He who knows his limits has no limits" (I have no idea who said this).

Also, I think that this is not only true for people, but for businesses and groups too. Anyone who tries to be everything for everyone will always fail. Much better to focus on doing a few things really well.

I also read it's best not to set goals. Best to focus, opportunities comes when you least expext it

It's a little bit philosophy .. but yes, this is really true ..

But I don't agree with the last point, it's better to focus on something, but groups are there just to let people do a number of things in the same time ..

nice post man, keep it up..

And don't forget Dirty Harry Callahan: "A man's got to know his limitations"

I always limit myself by not working late night and even sometimes have a little nap in my lunch break at work to keep myself energized and fit enough to work throughout the long working day
