We often tell ourselves a false tale of our limitations, which prevent us from even attempting to achieve great things. The truth is our potential is more vast than we can imagine. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, we discuss how to reveal the infinite Light within each of us.

“If we are honest, I think most of us would admit that even on our best days, our best thoughts of our potential in our lives in all areas are still limited. As long as we still tell ourselves the story of limitation, there is no way we can even begin to live a life we are meant to live.” – Michael Berg
