Your potential means nothing if you keep protecting yourself from looking foolish. You can have the ideas. The talent. The discipline. The vision. And still waste years. Because you’re too afraid to be seen trying. People talk. People judge. Let them. Be willing to look foolish. Awkward. To start badly. To be misunderstood. You can either protect your ego or build the life you want. You don’t get to do both.
never allow yourself to fall for the idea that YOU do not possess the ability to bend the world to your will. no matter the situation you find yourself in, never underestimate how much power you have. society pushes us to think we are just another cog in the wheel. it's a big lie
People will constantly attack you in life. One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential. They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.
