    выходить за собственные пределы
    Never heard such kind of phrase, but there is a set phrase "превосходить(превзойти) себя".
    Indeed, now I see Превосходить as a very versatile word, even better than превышать.

    That's because you haven't tried that yet

    I don't like the phrase as well, but there you go. Also превзойти себя doesn't necessarily mean that you surpassed your limits. Wording is important in this philosophical BS.
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
