Theme: Limitless

This event occurred on
April 7, 2019
Waltham, Massachusetts
United States

To break the chains, cross the boundaries, climb new heights and achieve the impossible, is but, in fact, Limitless.

Limitless is being courageous enough to cross the boundaries that are created by social norms such as race, gender, and accepted social standards as well as the boundaries that we impose on ourselves. It is the prospect of progression and exploring the unknown. It’s being open to new ideas and experiences while not limiting your perception of the world.

Our goal is to empower others by going above and beyond and thinking outside the box. The possibilities we face every day are limitless. Limitless is not just a word, it is a definition in of itself that is both inspiring and eye-opening. Unlimited thoughts become unlimited realities. If you keep the way you think, you keep the same limited reality. Change the way you think, and your reality becomes limitless.

Jim Pouliopoulos

“Life is about the stories you can tell. Regrets are the echoes of the stories you cannot tell.” Most people misunderstand the key to success and happiness. Society drives college students and working professionals to set clear goals, work hard, make money, and achieve happiness based on wealth, fame, and material possessions we have accumulated. In reality, the equation is flipped: Happiness precedes success. You can take steps to understand what makes you happy and what sort of work you do well and enjoy most. You can create daily habits and systems to keep your happiness front and center in your life's pursuits. Your success should flow from your happiness but only if you take care of your personal needs first and avoid being swayed by peer pressure, by family pressure, and by external expectations. Once you achieve true happiness, you realize your future is limitless.
