When we were young, our mum will set several rules and boundaries for us. These rules and boundaries were put in place with the sole purpose of keeping us safe.
This is necessary because when we are young, we are oblivious to danger and a fall can lead to catastrophic consequences.
As we grow older, many of these rules and boundaries become redundant. Unfortunately, most people continue to carry these rules and boundaries deep into their adulthood.
Not realizing that their tendency to err on the side of caution is preventing them from pushing themselves to their limits, and thus, preventing them from achieving the greatness they have always dream about.
