Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.

Do not tell me what to do and do not tell me what I can't do.

Believe in yourself and you can achieve greatness in your life.
