humans have this tendency to create their own barriers, ultimately limiting their true potentials. it’s funny really, because what is the purpose of this? why do we continue to compare ourselves to others, always thinking that we can never succeed if we are not of the same “standard” as someone else? if we fail, we fail, but at least we made an effort. the true winners are those who can overcome these psychological barriers. this is victory - not in the sense that they “won”, but because they had the strength to overcome their own self-doubt. human beings have much more potential than we give ourselves credit for - we just need to break down a few barriers before we can reach it.
