“99% of the world is convinced they can’t do great things, so they shoot for the middle. They shoot for realistic goals. Which means that realistic goals are the most competitive place to be. Therefore, unrealistic goals are less competitive cause no one’s going for them.

Don’t overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You’re probably better than you think.”

- Ben Nemtin ‘The Buried Life’ (Ted Talk ‘6 Steps to Crossing Anything Off Your Bucket List’)

My personal fear is not that someday I’ll look back and see that I failed at reaching my dreams, rather it’s that I’ll achieve them, and look back and say they weren’t big enough, or they lacked any purpose beyond myself.
