To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home.
Listen for the magic word of motivation and you will hear it. I really feel like the sky is the limit. I’m a dreamer, and I dream in full HD. Be all you can be in whatever you choose to do. The sky is the limit, so go for it don’t create any self-imposed limitations. The attraction of flying is the freedom it gives you. In the sky you can go anywhere and do anything. The other amazing thing about flying a plane is how easy it is to get away from people and enjoy the solitude of the mountains.
You can do anything you set your mind to.
“There are no limits when you are surrounded by people who believe in you, or by people whose expectations are not set by the short-sighted attitudes of society, or by people who help to open doors of opportunity, not close them.” ― Neil deGrasse
The sky’s the limit.” “I still want to learn a lot of new things. I want to learn another language. I want to learn how to play guitar. I want to learn karate. The sky’s the limit. I have the time. Why not?” Keep in mind that this phrase is usually used in a positive way. So if it’s about something bad or negative that has no limits. The Sky is the limit To what I can have [Repeat x3] Just believe and receive it God will perform it today Hey, Hey, ay Just believe and receive it God will perform it today!!! I’m Looking for a miracle and expect the impossible I feel the intangible I see the invisible [Repeat X2.]
The sky is the limit that I can’t exceed
But nothing will stop me from chasing my dreams.
I’ll spread my wings; and like a dove I’ll sore.
I’ll fly higher and higher than ever before.
When things go wrong as they often will,
And the path that I’m walking seems to be all uphill;
I’ll break for a moment and find a nice place to sit,
But I will soon get up and continue; for I refuse to quit.
Towards the end of the universe and the journey in time
It seems that the biggest obstacle that had ever arose,
Was incomprehensibly, self imposed.
The true barrier- I can finally see,
The limit is not the sky
The limit is me.

You’ve heard the saying, “The sky’s the limit.” It’s meant to indicate that you can achieve anything; that humans can reach beyond the bounds of planet Earth and enjoy limitless success.
I think it’s an antiquated term. I prefer to believe that the sky is definitely NOT the limit. Why be limited by anything?
Strictly speaking, the sky is the space over the Earth where the sun, moon, stars, and the clouds appear. But there’s an entire unexplored cosmic universe out there that is beckoning us—a limitless universe sets new sights and new standards for goal-setting.
Why shoot for the sky when you can shoot for the outer reaches of the vast celestial cosmos? Be fearless! Dream big! Be Limitless! Man’s potential goes way beyond the sky.
You can achieve whatever you want to achieve. With the right character, with determined confidence, and with innovative ideas that count you can rise from nothing to the highest levels of society. If you can think it, you can do it. It’s up to you.
How does that last statement make you feel? For many, turning thoughts into deeds, taking the germ of an idea and creating a business employing hundreds or thousands of people, are immensely challenging hurdles. The first time around it’s taking a step into the unknown. And it can be scary. However, once you get beyond the fear there awaits a wondrous world of excitement, of achievement, and of satisfaction.
Marianne Williamson once put it this way: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
The mind of man is limitless. Look at history. Look at today’s world. The pace of innovation and invention in all aspects of our lives continues at an astonishing pace. High-tech. Medicine. Communications. Science. Some futurists even predict that we won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress.
Dramatic changes…amazing scientific and technological breakthroughs…they can seemingly materialize out of nowhere and disrupt the world as we know it.
So where do you fit in? The answer is…where do you want to fit in? What can you do? What can you contribute? What’s your potential? What do you want to do?
Hopefully, you have an inner voice that’s talking to you and encouraging you to recognize your true potential and shake it awake.
Don’t make excuses. That’s the easy way out. We can all find reasons why we should not do something. It’s harder to take action and do it. Just know that when you invest your heart and soul in a project it’s a magical, life-energizing, transformative experience. Go ahead and discover that for yourself.
Don’t limit your thinking. Don’t limit your do-ing. Challenge yourself to achieve greatness. Find your passion. Share it with others. Collaborate. Shake off any shackles that have been holding you down. Find individuals with whom you can work and who share your passion; good people who share your values and your mission. People you can trust. S0 Ignore the naysayers and the critics. Ignore the people who are envious. Especially ignore those who wish you ill.
Don’t be ordinary. Be extraordinary.
The sky is not the limit—unless you allow it to be.
As one great athlete said, “Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”
The world is a wonderful place. What goes around comes around. God never forgets anyone who sows a good seed in other people’s lives.
Nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers don’t drink their own water. Trees don’t eat their own fruit. Sun doesn’t give heat for itself. Flowers don’t spread fragrance for themselves.
Living for others becomes the rule of nature. And, therein lies the secret of life.

not set by the short-sighted attitudes of society, or by people who help to open doors of opportunity, not close them.”

The popular saying is: The sky’s the limit, which means that our potential and opportunities are sky high.
I think that the new expression “The sky is not the limit” conveys the same idea. The difference is that now we
can see what is beyond the sky, because we have the Hubble Space Telescope.
Am I right?
The Sky can be limitless let’s take wherever the sky limits in this universe. As a 3 dimensional space beyond our expectations and all our potential is unmeasured, but all happen only in a reasonable way. Once “the sky is not the limit”, your potential could be supernatural power that makes you fly in the sky, which is impossible, isn’t it?
We have already been to the Moon. We might find a way to be tele-transported beyond the Solar System or the Milky Way. After all matter is just a form of energy according to Einstein. So, if the sky is not the limit, then our potential is even greater, isn’t it.
The sky is not a limit, which means that our potential and opportunities are higher than the sky, which implies that you can have a job of professor at a university with a high school degree because the opportunities become unlimitedly open to anybody regardless of their status and education. Yes, I agree with you at the point that everything is possible, but human potential isn’t unlimited, at least human is unable to fly without any modern technologies.
Here we are in 110% territory. Some people say 100% is not enough, you have to give more than that, if you are really enthusiastic, sincere, committed etc. Obviously it is impossible to give more than 100% of your capacity, but still people talk like that.
What is the sky really? It is an optical illusion, nothing more. It looks as if there is a blue dome covering the earth (or a black one at night), a background against which some lofty objects can be seen (planes, clouds, sun, moon, stars). In reality, that appearance is false. The apparent blue dome is just a reflection of longer wavelength light from the molecules of the air in the earth’s atmosphere.
Therefore the phrase ‘the sky’s the limit’ means that there is no limit this side of the ultimate extent of what is visible. It is just a metaphor. It is not a factual expression. It don’t relate to any real, existing object called ‘the sky’. No such physical object exists.
Neil Tyson’s book title ‘The Sky is Not the Limit’ is really a jocular expression, suggesting (a) that something called the sky really exists, a sort of roof over the earth, and (b) that astronauts in space craft fly beyond it. That thought is good for a smile, but not for drawing any serious conclusions.
I’m not sure if this is a slight disagreement, but my take on it is that while you on one hand could view “the sky’s the limit” and “the sky’s not the limit” as the same thing, I think there could be a slight difference.
“The sky’s the limit” could imply that you can see goals which you feel are unattainable. So if you want to become the world champion of boxing for example. You might think that’s impossible for you. But the phrase “the sky’s the limit” sort of implies that if you can see this goal then it is indeed possible to reach it.
“The sky’s not the limit” to me could imply something else however; that beyond what you can see and perceive there are even more possibilities. We can see the sky, as was pointed out earlier, but we can’t see everything beyond it. So similarly we can see a goal such as being a world champion boxer, because it is a known entity, but that isn’t “the limit” because there are other possible goals beyond that.
Meet Sean Swarner:
The first cancer survivor to stand on the top of the world!
With only one functioning lung, a prognosis of fourteen days to live, and being in a medically-induced coma for a year, Sean Swarner is the first cancer survivor to stand on top of the world… Mt. Everest. Sean has broken through defined human limitation in order to redefine the way the world views success.
Sean was diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once at the age of thirteen and again at the age of sixteen. After an incredibly poor prognosis, and being read his last rites, His first goal was to crawl 8 feet from the hospital bed to the bathroom. He went on to Redefine Impossible by climbing 29,035 feet to the top of Mt. Everest with one lung! From there he stood atop the highest point on all 7 continents, skied to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman. Sean has been interviewed by Steve Harvey, CBS Evening News, Fox & Friends, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, Huffington Post, Outside the Lines, Sports Center, Washington Post, USA Today, Sports Center, and countless others. His numerous articles with thought leaders such as Sir Richard Branson and Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu put him in a category by himself. Sean astounded the medical community when he survived both these brutal diseases. He realized that after defeating cancer twice, no challenge would ever be too great, no peak too high.
Sean proved his theory when he crested the peak of Mt. Everest. As the first cancer survivor to do so, Sean decided to continue climbing and has since topped the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and North America, thus completing the “7-Summits”. Upon skiing to both the South and the North Poles, Sean completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam.
With the completion of the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, Sean is the only person in history to accomplish these inhuman feats.
As Sean continues to defy the odds, test his own endurance and inspire and motivate people around the world, he shares his message of healing, hope, and triumph with cancer patients worldwide. Sean serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of the non-profit organization, The Cancer Climber Association, is author of the book “Keep Climbing,” and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other organizations around the globe.
