Often I hear the phrase, sky is the limit. I wonder what it really means. Either that there actually is a limit or one just say that you are unlimited because sky is far away at unlimited distance. It has often been said along with what one can achieve or one can do in life. While growing up, going to school and then college, everyone is given this lesson that if you work hard and do good in your studies and become a professional then once you have attained the education and your equipped with the necessary experience then 'sky is the limit' to what you can do. Alas, we forget something which is so important and that is the fact that 'time in limited'. You may reach the skies if you were given unlimited time but that is not the case. So what you can achieve in life and what you can do is bound by 'time'. And time by no means a simple factor in the equation, it is a killer. The reason its a killer because a person dies when the time expires. So the game of life no wonder has unlimited levels and unlimited fruits and bounties and whatever you can collect when you are equipped with the right tools, time expires. I then wonder where can you use the phrase 'sky is the limit' when its actually not even a right phrase at least not from the perspective of humans. Its a demoralizing goal which can never be achieved and thus showing you the realities of life.

Time does not stop for anyone, anywhere. Most of us grow old every single second that pass. Only the few lucky ones grow while growing older. We have to waste few seconds or minutes of our precious life to stop and think where we are. Are we growing or are we just growing old. These few minutes of rethinking could be vital for our future path. We could choose to continue to go straight heading the same direction as we have been and face the surprises of life like a game of luck or we could choose our path and look ahead of us to plan, like a video game where you could see the map ahead of you to decide either you are going to make a turn or just slow down. The problem is that once the game of life starts, it does not stop until the game is over. It is hard for most of us to plan out the minute by minute details therefore we could just look at our days in full and see if we have moved forward every single day of our life or we have just passed another day not knowing what was it all about and what were we suppose to do. When the time pushed us through a day, we end up not growing a inch to face the challenges we must face, either we have planned out or either its a surprise.
