whether it’s small or a big,everybody has a barrier. A fence or other obstacle that prevents movement or access to your long or short term goal. One barrier or multiple barriers.

Also I never rode my bike for a whole two to three months because I was scared of the situation and it happening again. The doctor had told me that this was very severe and if it were to happen again it could be even worse than now. Next is that I had to have courage in myself that I would soon get back to normal and do things as well or better than I use to.

Lastly, that is how determination is involved with this
