Is it possible that my walls are specifically erected and intentionally reinforced out of the fear that God calls me to an existence without walls? And if this is so, do I realize that I am the warden of prison that I created in which I myself am the prisoner? Craig D. Lounsbrough
About This Quote

The more we push our limits and push against the boundaries of who we are as humans, the more we will suffer. Being more than our limitations allows us to recognize more than our limitations as well as what we CAN do. We can reach our true potential and become the person we were meant to be. Finding out who we truly are is an amazing journey filled with firsts and falls and falls and falls. But, all of those falls and firsts and whimpers and laughs and screams and tears lead us to a place where we realize that each fall is a step closer to being who we were meant to become.
