Taking on new challenges and accomplishing them will reveal so much about yourself. At a young age I would enjoy learning new things but there were times when my mind would say, "I can't do that, I don't know how." I would stop my thoughts in their tracks and say "Why not? I can learn," I then would go on to prove myself wrong. One activity that I took on was surfing and the satisfaction and realization that washed over me when I successfully rode my first wave all the way to shore was unbelievable. I quickly realized that anything is possible with the right mindset and putting yourself out there. Only I can say what I am capable of and how much effort I can and am willing to put in. I am the only thing getting in the way of achieving anything I want in life.
