Revisited Episode 14 - Know Your Limit

The Perspective Matters Podcast

Personal Development doesn’t always have to be so serious! It can be fun! As Jamaicans we can be so expressive and so creative in giving our commonsense wisdom. We are fearless when we communicate. The proverbs I share are centered around the theme of knowing your limit. Growth happens outside of your comfort zone so a willingness to push past your limit is a sure way to evolve! The proverbs below share this sentiment.

Monkey mus know weh him go put him tail before him order trousiz. Be clear about how you’re going to carry out the task; before you initiate the process. Before taking on projects consider the implications of the yes. There is value in pausing and assessing whether or not you should yes to the opportunity. When we say yes to things; do we have a limitation or insecurity that could hinder us. It is indeed good to say yes and push the boundaries. Keep in mind; when we say yes to something; we are saying no to something else.

If cow did know how him throat hole tan; or how him batty part. Him wouldn’t chance pear seed. We do not always realize our limitations. We are willing to embrace opportunities; that we tend to forget our limitations. It is good to take on something outside of you comfort zone. When we know our limitations; we can make easier choices. The decision doesn’t become can I or do I do it. It becomes should I do it or not. We can decide whether or not to take on the challenges because we know what we’re capable. Knowing your limitations makes the decision making process easier. Recognize that you have limits and there is nothing wrong; embracing your limitations and pushing past them if you think there is value in doing so.

Until next time remember "There are two sides to every coin; just flip it to get the full view!"
