Very thought provoking and truth! Sometimes we get complacent and then regret the decision not to push boundaries. Great Write. ❤

An inspiration as always. We are always looked after in the going-too-far of it.

Divine protection. That's a wonderful thought, Stephen. To stop us from over-stepping into danger.

It’s getting the sweet spot, isn’t it…I know I’m getting less risk averse the older I get…just hope my body keeps up! 🫣

Rea de Miranda's avatar

I hope mine will, Esther! 😊

Met a trail runner once who said, "you go untill your whole being hurts...then you push a little bit more..."

Rea de Miranda's avatar

That’s exactly what I meant, Johan. You push to overcome your limits. Thank you for sharing this. <3

Well put Rea, we are scared of failing so we hold ourselves back.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

We allow fear to dictate our actions. Thank you, Maralet.

What an inspiring read, personally I learned from both sides, of the coin.

And that lesson helped me choose “which doors I walked through”.

The pain from not completing something versus the pain and exhilaration of success.

Giving up - was letting myself down (and potentially others).

Thank you Rea

Life teaches us which paths to follow. Thank you , Mark!

Truth...my greatest accomplishments have been when I pushed through my doubts and fears.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

That's the only way, Jen. 🤍

How many times are we prepared to fail before we succeed, those who invent and create, know the cost of failure and refining their plans

Rea de Miranda's avatar

Exactly, Adrian. That's the only way.

You are so right. No guts, no glory.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

That’s a great way of putting it, Nancy!

You have to get to the edges to know where the middle is!

Rea de Miranda's avatar

That’s the truth, Josh!

Rea, you make courage sound like something we can actually reach out and touch ahah~

Reading this felt like someone handing me a tiny shove toward the edge… in the nicest way possible.

You’re right — we imagine the disaster before we even take one step.

Thanks for the reminder that maybe “too far” is exactly where things start getting interesting.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

Exactly! That's where it starts getting interesting. Thank you.
