Most of the limits we have in our lives come from our thinking about what is possible.  God is all about possibilities and does not perceive the same limits we do.  God can see further, deeper, and more wholly the big picture of what can be than what is within our capacity to see.  Just because we see limits does not mean they cannot be surpassed.  Us limiting ourselves is because we are relying only our on own capabilities. Me keeping off 160 plus pounds and living at a healthy body weight for 15 years, not possible.  Me being present in the lives of my family members without compromising the truth of who I am, not possible.  Me looking at a man who is looking at me and not feeling responsible, not possible.   Even things I did not think were possible even six months ago in terms of how I interact with people or sense an aliveness in my heart are now happening. I had done my best to walk through all of those things but came up against what I believed were limits.  I only saw limits and had no sense of how it could all come about.  I did the only thing I learned in recovery to do.  I turned to God with each limiting belief.  “God how do you see this?  Does this still ring true for me?  I trust all things are possible for you and you are not hindered by the limiting beliefs I have.  I surrender my heart and mind to you today. Show me what to do, tell me what to say and use me as you will.”  It is the willingness to let go and trust that while we may not know how it is possible, God knows it is possible.  Limiting becomes a sign post to me of where I need God to show me what is beyond my limiting ideas and return to the truth of who I am according to God.
