True freedom starts by recognizing the borders of your limitations, and then moving to carefully and gently extend those borders in ways that don't extend your limitations, as well. Dirty Harry said it best, "Man's got to know his limitations," - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VrFV5r8cs0. Lew Rockwell posted an article from 'The Burning Platform' that says similar - https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/09/jim-quinn/a-mans-gotta-know-his-limitations/. Recognizing this stuff is the beginning of true freedom.
