Maybe there are real limits, but they are waaaay farther than the ones we set to ourselves... Limits exist primarily in our heads.

I used to think in terms of no limits for myself and that I can achieve anything if I put my mind to it; however, there came a time in life when I became really overwhelmed and overstressed because I was taking on way too much in life, I was always taking on a full-load at school, I never said no to voluntering or helping out with anything, I was on the executive board of a few student and community organizations, sometimes working 2 jobs on top of all that (tutoring, teaching, research) and there came a time when I just couldn't take it anymore and I became miserable literally and was always nervous and anxious. I had to come to terms with the fact that I'm not superwoman and it's ok to accept that I can't do everything and be everywhere. There are other people that can achieve what I can't achieve and that's totally fine. I ended up making some major life decisions that upset my parents and made me seam weaker or like a gave up (decided against medical school although I did awesome on the MCAT), but in the end it was all for the better. So I think it's important we're all realistic about our abilities, my limits are a result of my own personal experiences. Interesting post maioush, I have a slightly different perspective though.
