We live in a world that demands perfection. Should we fail to live up to societal expectations, we experience a sense of failure, and fears and anxiety about a tenuous future. Added to this is the struggle with financial pressures and widening gaps in inequality, chronic stress and mental health challenges.

Yet, in truth, it doesn't matter where we come from and what our historic circumstances and achievements might be. We are all capable of extraordinary lives and should not be bound by limitations, whether self-imposed or from external sources.
