The words above are from Christine Ha. They are part of a larger inspiring message she has for all of us and that's .....
"I want people to realize they have it in themselves. If you have that passion, that fire, that drive, that desire... you can overcome any obstacle and any challenges to really achieve what you want and prove yourself to the world. Everyone is very capable. Much more capable than they think they are."
