So much more

You are neither the sum of your existence nor the total of your neighbourhood and characters surrounding you.

You cannot allow the place you are from to define your existence or the path you seek to trod. You can go as far as your eyes can see and even beyond; your feet can take you to the place where dreams pull you.

Choice, determination, resilience and the belief in self can overpower the debilitation limitations of self-doubt, fear, and those who may try to put you down, crush you to smithereens with your boot of negativity and jealousy.
