“The shortest distance between two points is the line from me to you.”

“We set limits for ourselves all the time. This imaginary line that you're positive you won't ever cross. An action that you are positive you would never do, no matter what. But what we don't consider when we draw our line is a change in our situation.

An action that you were sure last week you wouldn't do suddenly becomes a viable option this week because the situation has drive you to it.

Then you move your limit line and talk yourself into believing this new line will never be crossed.

A man will take a stand and proclaim "I would never lie to my wife." But what if he maxes out their credit card because of his internet porn addiction?

The line gets moved.

I'm sure if you ask any mother or father they would not hesitate in harming or even killing someone who was about to do the same to their child.

The line gets moved.

A girl who is so consumed by the pain and empty ache of loneliness will be drive to do anything, no matter how degrading she thinks it is, because she wants to numb the chronic pain.

The line gets moved.

The line keeps moving and moving until one day you realize you're limitless.

If you are being completely honest with yourself, there is absolutely nothing you wouldn't do if the situation required you to cross another line.”
