embracing limitations vs? meeting beyond

One of my unconscious assumptions is likely that going beyond (finding a way out/a more expansive field) doesn't fit with accepting current limits.  I think the frog story goes something like:  "if you accept current limits, they will control you and your thoughts.  Resist and refuse them! Shake y/our frog fist at them!"  So . . . if this is just one story among many that are possible, another might be: "You are free to work with and from whatever and wherever you are.  You don't have to right the world before you enter it.  You are already t/here.  So accept what is around you as what you have to work with -- don't assume you have to make it right or good before you get started; you've already started."  There is something here about there being enough time/lack of urgency, too.
