Our Own Limits

Few years back, a famous shoe brand had the slogan: Impossible is nothing.

That kept me thinking. There are some things proven a thousand times to be really impossible because of restrictions or human limitations, but in time, men with such brilliant minds have invented means of making such things possible.

In general, I believe that we set our limits. The moment we stopped at a track because we tell ourselves, we can only reach this point, we set that limit to ourselves. The moment we move past that track and stop at another, we move a notch higher but created ourselves a new limit. Basically the moment we stop at something, we define our limits.

We defy our limits yet we also define it.

I guess it will always be that way. It will be a constant struggle of extending ourselves far beyond the limits we set to ourselves. When we have learned tricks or gained experiences from life, work, & friends, we apply all those in our lives to make new kinds of learnings and move on to another challenging race.

For as long as we don’t overcome our own fears, level up from our own standing, don’t get pass another pit stop, what lies ahead will always remain impossible for us. So we must constantly defy our limits. Only then will we realize that we can do more than what we could have ever imagined.

Love, like no other.

When Jesus died for us, it was love like no other. Even before that, when God decided to give us His son, it was truly love, like no other.


I guess God showed this to us a long time ago so that when we live our lives, we’ll love the same way.

Nowadays, people love just like any other; the kind of love that happens in a click and vanishes in a click, that love you’d realize, was no way special, was no way hard-earned. It’s sad when I hear friends or even celebrity couples splitting up in a snap. All the more when I learn that they’re exchanging partners within their circle of friends; when they treat relationship, as a mix and match of clothes in their closet.

I don’t live a perfect life. I don’t live a sin-free life but I know for a fact then we love, we must love like no other.

Come Valentine’s Day, people would get excited about buying gifts for their loved ones; but sometimes these things just happen when it’s Valentine’s. For me, we shouldn’t wait for occasions or holidays so we could spend time with loved ones because, love? It’s an everyday kind of thing. J

For me, love is not a feeling; it’s that deliberate action of choosing to love. It’s when you choose to love that person despite of flaws and disagreements or when you meet someone more gorgeous and stunning yet you still look at your partner and tell yourself, “I still have the best.”

I pray each person, every day, will love like no other - not just their partner, but their family and friends and everyone they meet in this lifetime.

We can't have everything.

like this red LaFerrari <3
I guess it is intended that man can’t have everything.

When we are always able to get the things we want, then there’s no point working hard, sweating blood and more blood to achieve something; the thought simply of making an effort to get what we want. Most often than not we learn the value of things or a person when we work so hard or extend ourselves far enough just to reach that dream or person.

The more we give some effort, the more we value what we attained.

Years back, I’d always save my allowance in school so I could by myself new clothes for Christmas. Come Christmas, I’d be so proud to tell my friends, I bought the clothes with my own money (well, really, the allowance still came from my parents :p). When I started working, I carried on that same value: to work hard so I could buy the things I want, even the necessities.Since then, I never asked money from my parents. And I valued everything I bought with my salary.

Oftentimes, we find ourselves wondering why we can’t have everything; that the world could have been a better place to live in had we have everything. Well I guess, that’s why there’s heaven and earth.

We can’t have everything now, so we would all work hard preparing for that time when we have everything, in heaven.
