Limits are necessary to give purpose and direction to life. Swimming in a sea of boundless opportunity would soon lead to exhaustion. In human affairs, the making of choices implies limitation, for in choosing one road another must be abandoned.
One key to a successful life is to select your limits consciously and carefully -- to be discriminating in the setting of personal limits. Thrift, for example, often precedes prosperity; the letting go of selfish interests often leads to great personal reward. Only by accepting limits can one's energy be channeled to good purpose, and lead to lasting achievement.
