“We've been conditioned to base our self-worth on how others see us, not how we see ourselves. This is our biggest challenge.”

We need to embrace resistance, be aware of its existence, and understand our success depends on defeating our self-imposed roadblocks.
"You didn't run out of time. You are not too old. It is not too late. Go for it ― just do it."
