Certified Recovery CoachWell, while it's necessary to know what the expectations are going into any situation, you also need to have hope and dream big. If people didn't try to do what was deemed impossible, we wouldn't have so many of the things that we have today. So, push yourself past limiting beliefs and try to do the unexpected sometimes.
