“As long as more walls still stand…We’ll need more of you, young people, who imagine the world as it should be; who knock down walls; who knock down barriers; who imagine something different and have the courage to make it happen.”

― President Barack Obama

What are the barriers to your creativity? Are they of your own making, or are they barriers imposed by the world? What are your strategies for overcoming barriers?
