For some reason, my comment on your latest post is not going through: “Nonce verification failed.” That’s why I share it here. I am sorry about that:

When you mentioned that “each time you go beyond them you break away a piece of that wall inside” it made me look differently at this experience, we all have experienced several times. It made me look from a different angle. It is not only cracking the shell to have more room because we literally grew, but it is also dropping some of the boundaries we had built up and lived with for much too long.

“Others will not understand simply because ‘their’ walls are built so differently than yours.” That is the next important realization that stops competing with others. We don’t need to be better than others. That doesn’t lead anywhere since we are “built differently” and everybody has a different concept of how to reach the goals they set before coming into this world. It is only in becoming better than I was. Nothing else.

When I realized that I myself built up all of those fears and self-doubst, I knew that I could basically become whatever I want. As much as I could build up walls, as much I can create goals and ways to reach them. I am still working on this, but with determination and the knowledge that it is only up to how far I want to go – not how far others let me.

I am so happy, I found this post today. I missed it since I am not on WP on weekends (and I might have missed a few that way). It confirmed and encourages me to keep up my direction! Thank you so much, Mark 💖
