"You must do the thing that you think you can not do"
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I love this philosophy. It coincides with a philosophy that I have (that I don't always adhere to) that says to do the things that you're most scared of. I do adhere to this philosophy when I think it could really be beneficial for me. For instance, that's how I came to ride on the biggest water slide at Kentucky Kingdom. I won't ever do it again, but I'm glad I did. There's something about challenging one's self that truly feels amazing to me. I definitely advocate for doing the things you think you can't do.
