you only limit yourself, permission is granted from within, conscience is either a tool or a anchor.

I knew you couldn't actually explain. You're one of those young men: high on principles, low on cash.
Would you like to discuss these? because they are tenets I've learned to embrace. And I so wish I was a young man high on principles, low on cash. Unfortunately 'taint so.
Let's start with the first; You only limit yourself. As young children we are given boundaries some are put in place to keep us safe, don't touch the stove, don't run with scissors, don't cross the block etc. But others also limit our potential "Well our Your father and I aren't very musical, well you did your best, you can't win them all etc. As a young man I let those limits all remain they became my self-imposed limits of what I "knew that I could do or worse shouldn't even attempt.
I at the time had a very fast car in which I made a tiny mistake which came very close to killing me, luckily it didn't and my car and I made it out unscratched. But really had an epiphany moment as I sat there thinking of the things that I'd like to do versus the things I had done. And I just realized that I was holding myself back. I always wanted to help people so I joined the volunteer fire dept. and the ambulance department I took the EMT. course and became one. I took firefighter courses at the Jr. college and became state certified level 3. Any fear or limit I might of felt I would push aside. And reap the rewards of self confidence from. I joined a High angle rescue team that invented new ways to rescue farmers trapped in grain bins we eventually began to work with LifeFlight choppers doing canyon and rock face rescues too as well as training individual departments in the tri-state area.
All through life you will find things that the voice in your head say "you can't do that because..." that's a limit you put on yourself, it doesn't matter what anyone else says if you shut the voice inside your head off and just stop limiting your own self, then what the rest of the world says or thinks won't matter. this is a book I'm sorry..
