LIMITLESS

‘Stop limiting your potential. Realise that there’s an unlimited amount of things that you can do with your life.’ ~ Sonya Parker

I had lofty ambitions as a child. I wanted to be the first female Red Arrows pilot; I'm not sure why I thought I had what it took to join the world's premier aerobatics display team, but I had a dream, alright.
Needless to say, I did not achieve this; not only was I beaten to the post by Flt Lt Kirsty Stewart in 2010, but I tried flying and was hopeless. It's most likely for the best this one didn't pan out.
Not all dreams can come true but at the risk of sounding cheesy, it's the journey, not the destination, that counts. Welcome to Limitless: this is all about going for your dreams no matter what. It's about standing up for yourself, ignoring the naysayers and diving headfirst into your ambitions. We are limitless in our drive and our ambition, and we want this edition to inspire and empower you to take the leap of faith you need in whatever walk of life you desire. Limitless is also dedicated to pushing through and surviving the dark times; to navigating grief and adversity.
We can't all be Red Arrows pilots, but we can all try. Don't set limits for yourself: 'there's no such word as can't'.
To our contributors, thank you. To our readers, enjoy. ■
