It's not about breaking down borders. It's about pushing off of them, and seeing what amazing places they might bring us.

It’s believing in those dreams and facing our fears head on that allows us to live our lives beyond our limits.

Our borders and our obstacles can only do two things: (1) stop us in our tracks, or (2) force us to get creative.

We can either see our circumstances as a set of random cruelties and then allow those hardships to turn us into bitter victims; or we can recognize the fact that, though we may never comprehend why hard things happen, they do, and when they do, we can reach for a larger purpose beyond the pain.

If your life were a book, and you were the author, how would you want your story to go?

Instead of looking at our challenges and limitations as something negative or bad, we can begin to look at them as blessings, magnificent gifts that can be used to ignite our imaginations and help us go further than we ever knew we could go.

You don't always have to have the most amazing story. It's learning to share the story you have that counts.
