Barriers Quote by Steve Maraboli
““Life throws enough at you. Let’s not make unnecessary enemies… Our limits are not permanent barriers or walls; they are reference points, markers that are meant to be moved or exceeded according to our goals. They are not an enemy to be destroyed, but a temporary gauge to be referenced and adjusted.””
