Break out of your limiting beliefs.
See them for what they are: walls you built, not unbreakable barriers.
Challenge them, push against them, and watch as cracks form.
Once you step through, you’ll realize they were never as solid as they seemed.

“Anger is a hot coal you hold in your hand while waiting to throw it at somebody.”
The longer you hold onto anger, the more it burns you, not the person you intend to hurt.
