When does "endless" end?

When we are young, we look forward and dream of accomplishment, personal relationships and fulfillment. The world is full of endless possibilities.

When a woman changes and "doesn't ask herself what is possible, but rather what possibilities remain,"* she has crossed the line. She has begun to look back rather than forward.

Looking back causes our world to shrink; looking forward expands it.

Doubting our dreams blows them away; belief restores them.

Getting in touch with yourself means asking yourself, "What do I want? What do I really want?" and not turning to another to find the answer.

"We are always damping down our inner weather, permitting ourselves the comforts of postponement, of rehearsals."**

What are we afraid of? Disapproval, rejection?

We have only one life to live. Our choices will become its script. If we censor ourselves the story will never be told.

Believe and act on your belief. Anything is possible.
