We reach greater heights if we have great thinking. We should change our thinking, to change our mindset...

“Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate…our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”

We are in a culture that seeks out negativity, a culture that thrives on the victim mentality, a culture that insists the glass is empty. Sometimes our fears are even greater than the fear of heights, or the fear of spiders. Sometimes our fears are deeper. Fear of rejection, fear of failure. We all have them.

Everyone has had to face the fear of rejection at some point in their life. Everyone has done something to hide a part of who they are. It’s time to think outside the shoe and see how can you fly.
