They are moments you have to push yourself beyond your limits, and at that moment you have to live dangerously, meaning, you put yourself at risk.
Why do you say that we have to go beyond our limits? Our diffident mind creates certain limits, and we get limited by them. Be cautious of this fact. When we have a poor self-esteem, then we set poor goals that appear reasonable. These limits imprison us. Hence the expression, ‘Learn to be unreasonable’. This means go beyond the limits of your reason that has been polluted by poor self-esteem. All powerful people are unreasonable – not that they are unintelligent, but they are the ones who have gone beyond the limits of a diffident mind.
We think wrongly and then blame the past failure. We should be neither past-oriented, nor future-oriented, nor even present-oriented. We should have a balance of the past, present and future, but live in the present.
