My body has been a great limiter for me.
Choose to study difficult subjects, occult, magic, some philosophy, Buddhism, till they were understood by me.
Had not thought of it as difficult, merely as something to bury my attention in. Once I had a firm grasp on one subject or the other I started something else, only much later finding the thread that conne them.
I need difficulty to manage my life.
Nothing wrong with ease but a challenge stirs something in me that nothing else does.
