9.3 Acceptance of Limits With Innovation

9.3 Acceptance of Limits With Innovation is the Reality Capacity competency that lets you acknowledge genuine constraints without collapsing — and then innovate within them. When underdeveloped, people either deny limits (burnout, magical thinking, frustration) or give up under them (resignation, hopelessness). The Adaptive Innovation Cycle — “See → Accept → Frame → Adapt → Innovate” — teaches you to name the constraint honestly, accept without collapse, frame it as a creative boundary, identify what’s fixed vs flexible, and choose one adaptive strategy to move forward. Limits stop being the end of the story and become the frame for innovation.
