When preparing for today's quote, I got into this theme of thinking about the issues that hold us back, and 'never accepting' those issues. I started coming up with a pretty good list. And yet, at this point, I decided to go ask myself what other viewpoints I have on the theme of 'never accepting.'

"From the material in the document, give me 100 items that start with "Never accept for a moment that...". concluding each item with a maximum of 6 words."
