Prove or disprove that there always exists a sequence satisfying a relation with a real constant $k$.

Question:




Prove or disprove for a real number $k$ there always exists a sequence $x_n$ where $lim_{nto infty}x_n=k$ and $$lim_{nto infty} frac{x_{n+1}-k}{x_n-k}=lim_{ntoinfty}frac{x_{n+1}}{x_n}$$
Here I'm interested in a proof. This will not have a counter example as all
possible sequences are to be considered.




Tell me if I can do something to improve the question.

This question is a mere work of curiosity and is inspired by a question put up on this website. It is not duplicate and is slightly different from the original one.

You can consider the sequence
$$
x_n = k+frac 1n
$$

We clearly have $lim_{ntoinfty} x_n=k$ and
$$
lim_{ntoinfty} frac{x_{n+1}-k}{x_n -k} = lim_{ntoinfty} frac n{n+1} = 1 = lim_{ntoinfty}frac{k+frac 1{n+1}}{k+frac 1{n}} = lim_{ntoinfty} frac{x_{n+1}}{x_n} .
$$
