Nothing is out of reach. Whatever you want, you can have it, but understand the world doesn't run on fairness or dreams or potential.
It runs on force, on who takes action and who waits, on who moves and who talks themselves into staying still. You don't get what you want by wanting it badly enough. You get it by becoming someone who refuses to live without it, by building your entire life around that one obsession and cutting loose everything that doesn't serve it.
Your relationship with yourself cannot be built entirely around improvement. At some point, you have to become someone you are allowed to enjoy being. You get to be proud of who you are. Present tense.
