Monday Morning Motivation: Destroying Previous Limits

Any fans of DBZ out here? I'm sure there are a couple.

Today's motivation, I had to make a choice between Goku's "I am" speech and the moment when Goku first goes Super Saiyan.

To me, Goku's transformation was just too good to pass up.

Frieza was made out to be such a good villian as he killed an entire race and killed Goku's friends. Krillin's death was the event that pushed Goku over the edge and triggered his transformation. If there was one thing DragonBall Z did very well, it was build suspense. Fans of DBZ were waiting forever for the moment where Goku transformed and started laying the beat down on Frieza.

But that is not what motivates me from this scene.

For me, what is more important is the transformation itself. After the transformation, Goku reaches a level of strength he never saw before. I think his strength multiplied by 10 times (I can't verify this, power levels are an inaccurate form of measurement). It is here that Goku destroyed all of his previous limitations.

In real life, multiplying your strength because of emotion is ridiculous. However there is one parallel to Goku's destroying of his limitations. It comes in the form of making a decision. A decision to become something different, something better. After making that decision, you can start the path to multiplying your strength, wealth, or health. And eventually, you will transform into something different.

  1. Very true. The parallels that can be drawn between improving one's life and Dbz are endless.
