Barriers in life come in all shapes and sizes, some are real, some are part of our upbringing, some evolve out of societal influence, no matter how they got there, they are barriers nonetheless that may knock us off living our best and most joyful life.

What do you do when you get to a barrier? Give up? Forge on? What if. No, I mean what if you approach each barrier by saying “what if”? Or what can I do? Or what if I…?

Giving into never may save us from struggle and disappointment but are not the best moments in life about conquering what is new or what is possible? It is time to find your joy by thinking about what is possible and stop being paralyzed by the rhetoric of never.

What is on your bucket list? Don’t have one? Come on man, everybody needs a bucket list. Do not let never stop you from planning, dreaming, saving, learning, trying, failing, practising, pursuing and conquering.

I can say with 100 percent certainty that 16 months ago I was never going to launch YourPeopleYourPlace or become an entrepreneur but as sure as the grass is green and the sky is blue, that is exactly what I am doing.
