About This Quote
In this quote from Helen Keller, she was speaking about the power of positive thinking. Her message is simple, yet most of us do not follow it. We tell ourselves that we will not achieve what we desire because it is too hard. Or we tell ourselves that we will not succeed because it is impossible.
These are both examples of a limit coming between us and our goals. A limit is a wall that stands in our way, but life is about breaking through walls. Life is about getting up and going after what we want – no matter how impossible or challenging those goals may seem.
In fact, if you don’t believe you can accomplish something, then why bother trying?
