YOU ARE THE ONE LIMITING YOURSELF

YOU ARE THE ONE LIMITING YOURSELF

One day not long ago the employees of a large company returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym."

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.
The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: "Who is this person who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he or she is no longer here!"

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it 

could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who is capable of setting limits to your growth: it is YOU.

In life, only one person apart from GOD decides what you get out of it and that person is YOU. As we are in this examination period, you alone decide what you will get out of it. Only you can hinder yourself from getting those 'As' that you have set your mind to achieve. Your destiny is in your hands. Do not play with it.
