“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

— T.S. Eliot

What is it that holds you back from doing the things that you dream of doing?  What is it that sets limits around growing to become who you truly are?  Where does the voice come from that chatters inside your mind and tells you to stop where you are before you go too far?  We spend our early years taking in the information and judgments placed on us by others.  As time passes, we lose touch with whose voice it was that spoke the limiting words, and we hear our own voice instead and think we are listening to our own thoughts.
When we feel the stirrings of our soul’s purpose, we must listen to our hearts and then carry that message to the limiting voices.  We must tell them that the real danger lies in not reaching beyond our limitations and discovering what lies beyond them.  We must silence the voices that tell us to be afraid and replace them with the reasoned messages of courage and adventure.  Until we silence the judgments that we place on ourselves, we can never discover what is on the other side of our fear.  Be courageous.  Listen long enough to recognize who is that tells you not to follow your purpose.  Replace their judgments with your own song of being alive, step across the line, and remember to keep on singing as you go.
