The only limitations in your existence are the ones you create in your own mind, the invisible barriers we create in our psyche that tell us to stay in and watch T.V rather than run or remain silent when we have an opinion to express and the truth is it's easy to break down these barriers they may impede you but they cannot stop you when you decide enough is enough, It's time to really live.
