If you`re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I`ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don`t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don`t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Martha Graham
I like to do something I fear. I like to set up obstacles and defeat them. I like to be afraid of the project. I always am. When I get cast in something, I always believe I shouldn`t have been cast. I fooled them again. I can`t do it. I don`t know how to ...

If you`re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I`ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don`t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don`t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan
