Character is like the tree;
Reputation its shadow.
– Abraham Lincoln

Send your roots down deep. Let the green growing edges of you come forth; everything else will take care of itself.

The barrier is something we have put up inside ourselves and we really can take it down.
What barrier will you take down this week? Have a go, what have you got to lose? If you are successful, much is...
