Very much so. I'm occasionally accused of not recognizing my strengths. I know where I lack though.
Often they become a defining trait for me. It's just so easy for it too happen.
One of my limits is my need for sleep, which now, I must acknowledge. Goodnight all.

I have no limitations.
There are things which I cannot do right now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future.
"Limitation" seems too permanent to me, I prefer "momentary inconvenience".
The only limitations we have are those we set for ourselves, and I don't believe in the setting.

Only the ones I can't control. I wear glasses. I will always wear glasses. I accept that limitation.
But percieved mental or emotional limitations are things to be conquered. Things to cherish only in the sweet victory over them.

I accept mine, I'm epileptic, will always be epileptic and can't function without medication. Thats just the facts.
To fight that and fight the medication would only hurt me. Acceptance was not easy to acquire but in the end it was necessary.

I have limitations?
okay I guess you can tell I don't accept them.
if there's soeting I can't do even if I know i can't (like right now.... typeing while my arthrtus is flareing up and my knuckles won't bend)
I do it and do it and do it..... just to prove myself and others wrong. or i keep tring and failing.
Explore your limitations people then try to top them. it's the only way to get anywhere in life.

It depends on the limitation. I strive hard to be better than I was yesterday, or even one hour ago. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't. There are some things in my life I can not overcome. There are others I have passed by and kept on going.
I don't set unrealistic goals for myself. When I reach one goal, I set another right away.

I accept those I can't change and those that I can like Blaze said are momentary inconveniences which I can strive to change.
I have had times where I "think" I can't do something but after trying and finding that I can I feel better about myself and move on to the next challenge.

I accept no limitations. For example, I've never let being a little slow stop me from expressing my opinion...

Do you view them as challenges to overcome or as permanent parts of your life?
Tell me what some of them are.

It all depends on the limitation. Some HAVE to be accepted just to keep sanity. The others either have to be overcome or worked around somehow. The hard part is knowing which category the limitation falls into.
NO.
I have not lived in the manner I wanted to and should have for my entire life. I always thought "I cant, I don't know how, no one gives a damn anyway...." and I was miserable inside. I never achieved my goals because I did not think I could, or that I even deserved success, or anything good. I saw myself as nothing.
I made my own limitations. They did not exist, until I gave them power.
No more. I am believing in myself, growing, reaching and so very proud of myself. That is the best feeling.... it feeds you and empowers you. I will never stop reaching out....reaching up...and believing in "me".
