“We stop checking for monsters under our beds, when we realized they were inside of us.” — Attributed to The Joker

Many people are not stopped by outside forced but inside ones.

They stop themselves because they hate themselves or because they do not allow themselves to try.

When they make a mistake it will forever haunt them and they are terrified of the meeting the monster that made that mistake again.

“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.” — Jim Rohn

Your entire life is a collection of who you are.

What you do echoes who you are inside.

Success, then, is not a measure of the things you do but rather a measure of the person you’ve become along the way.

“It’s not your fault.” — Dr. Sean Maguire, Good Will Hunting

Many people blame themselves instead of accepting themselves.

This scene from Good Will Hunting will forever echo in my mind because it does not matter whether it is your fault or not.
