From the Anacondas in Life:

"The greatest obstacles you face in life are the unseen snakes waiting in the road ready to strike. To achieve success and happiness you must learn how to defeat or avoid them."

"Most people do not realize they are underachieving their potential and passing up dreams they could attain. They have no idea that undetected obstacles are holding them back from what they could become."

"It is impossible to overcome these barriers unless you understand what they are and have some idea how to conquer them. You cannot defeat enemies unless you know you have them."
