Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.
- Randy Pausch ( 1960-2008 )
What are the brick walls in your life?
I'm not necessarily talking about physical impediments, but the psychological ones as well.
What stops you, me, all of us?
The fourth of July is right around the corner. The colonists faced the 'brick wall' of British rule and knocked the wall down, in the process of preparing to become the greatest country in the world.
What holds you back? Sometimes it is the fear of actual success, or the fear of failure. Either way it is fear. If you want something, you have to give it 'the old college try'.
It is time for all of us to face our brick walls and to start knocking them down. It may not be all at once but, small chips will weaken the wall, also.
As we celebrate Independence Day, push for personal independence and personal growth.
