No Limits

What happens when a person doesn’t believe in any limitations? What happens when they refuse to hear the doubts of others and only hear the call of their own voice? Leah Goldstein’s life is a testament to the overriding power of self-belief, determination, and courage. An internationally renowned professional cyclist, Goldstein has raced towards finish lines all her life. Her life lessons however extend beyond her achievements on a bike. From a young Tae Kwon Do champion, to leading anti-terrorism missions in the Israeli military, from breaking glass ceilings by entering Israel’s Undercover Police Unit to breaking records as a professional athlete, Leah has faced fear all her life. She has learnt that no matter how genuine the actual danger we confront may be, we have two choices: fight or flight.  Yet, some of us have fallen into a third, much more dangerous category, by simply freezing. We do nothing, and therefore risk neither success nor failure. Full of tragedies and triumphs, crashes and podiums, Leah’s life has been a long series of fights, and yes, a few flights. Her fascinating story is not about being fearless, but about being unstoppable—staring fear in the face, moving through it, and never, ever, freezing.
