0:00.0	How much do you play small in your life? We are often conditioned to play small, to be small,
0:06.1	to be quiet, to not draw attention to ourselves, to be this, to be that. We have the opportunity
0:11.3	to do great things and to fully express ourselves and to allow those ideas and dreams to come out
