About This Quote

The quote above is taken from the book “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, an ancient Toltec wisdom teacher. The quote makes it clear that there are no limitations in life. Every human being can achieve greatness if he or she has the right attitude. We all have dreams which are our greatest possessions. If we are able to dedicate ourselves to achieving them, then there is nothing that can stop us from attaining great wealth, power and happiness.
