I’m OK You’re Not, A Journey In Personal Discovery QUOTES AND HIGHLIGHTS

Limits are a part of everyday life. They can stop us from enjoying life and doing what we have always wanted. Some say the sky is the limit, I say “What limit!” If you think about it, the only limits that really, truly exist are those we impose on ourselves. We tell ourselves that we can’t do it or it’s impossible. As humans we tend to prevent ourselves from enjoying a full and blissful life. We fear a life without limits because it is unfamiliar territory. So we hide away, fearing the unknown and convince ourselves that limits exist, when really they don’t. For if they did, the world wouldn’t’ be very interesting. It would be a world full of rule followers and perfectionists and if it was like that, the world would not have individual thought.
