Never set limits for yourself, dream big, work hard and always make a positive impact on other people’s lives. Sam Panetta shares his story growing up with 15-year-old parents, the struggles and fun times that ensued and how he made something of himself despite the limitations society had against him. The driving force behind his passion and motivation actually comes from a lot of pain and painful drivers are often the ones that are most powerful. What’s the difference between a fixed and growth mindset? It might seem obvious to you in YOUR specific situation, but the world has not always allowed for such big dreams. Sam’s grandfather could not have experienced wealth the way it is now. For people in a fixed mindset, inspirational quotes will not challenge their reality.
