To achieve great things, we must be self-confined: mastery is revealed in limitation.

Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky's the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let's dance.

«In prayer we experience, more so than in other dimensions of life, our weakness, our poverty, our being created, because we stand before the omnipotence and the transcendence of God. And the more we progress in listening to and dialoguing with God, for prayer becomes the daily breath of our soul, the more we perceive the meaning of our limits, not just before the concrete situations of every day but in our relationship with the Lord too. Growing within us is the need to trust, to trust ever more in him; we understand that “we do not know how to pray as we ought” (Rom 8:26). And it is the Holy Spirit who helps us in our incapacity, who illuminates our minds and warms our hearts, guiding us to turn to God.»
— Pope Benedict XVI (16/May/2012)

Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.

And, I suppose, she affected me particularly in that way simply because I am a man of my time. For that is a limitation a man can't get beyond - to be of his time, completely. He may be successful, a man like that - indeed, should he not blow his brains out if he is not? - but he who is of his time may never rise above himself: he is the galley-slave working incessantly at the oars of his life, which reflects the lives of the multitude of his fellows. Yes, I am of my time.
Michael Arlen, The Green Hat

I love those sporadic stretches of time when I allow myself to do what I want, fully. Like, usually, when I consider doing things that I enjoy, there arises the need to attach some sacrifice, some condition, in order to make myself and the activity itself worthy of even being and happening.
I delude myself into thinking that a part of the activity needs to benefit someone else, instead of just fulfilling me, just making me feel whole. I can't draw something that won't appeal to the other eyes I intend to see it. I can't write something brief and abstract because others may not understand or appreciate its novel significance. I can't do that, because what purpose does it serve?
Except for these strange, euphoric moments when I manage to accept and act upon my wistful and totally possible potential happiness. Every once in a while I can treat myself to the simple truth of my desires, and I embrace them, and I find myself in awe.
Just, bliss.

“What exactly is liberty? First and foremost, surely, it is the power of a thing to be itself […] Then I began to think that being oneself, which is liberty, is itself limitation. We are limited by our brains and bodies; and if we break out, we cease to be ourselves, and, perhaps, to be anything.”
— G.K. Chesterton: The Poet and the Lunatics

It’s a difficult balance with Saturn. We want to protect ourselves as to avoid feeling vulnerable and exposed to the world but the unacknowledged fear that’s covered over with a cool and superior mask won’t go away until we face it and work with it constructively. Hiding within empty external shells of safety is not what Saturn wants for you. He wants you to own your fears. He wants you to realize that it was never about living up to external values, it was always about developing character through realizing the emptiness of material structure and taking your power back. Mind over matter. This is Saturn’s gift. He will test you until you achieve complete mastery.

Myths are intended to break the spell of time and release us from the immediate pressures and limitations of daily life.
