Try not to compromise. So many people don’t do what they really want in their hearts because they feel like they’re not good enough, or they’re not smart enough, or they’re not talented enough… anything. And that doesn’t matter. In order for you to live a remarkable life – in order for you to live a life that is fulfilling – you need to be able to go after what you want. And if you don’t, you’re not going to achieve it – ever. Debbie Millman
About This Quote

So many people don’t do what they really want in their hearts because they feel like they’re not good enough, or they’re not smart enough, or they’re not talented enough…”. This statement is a true and very important one. The truth is that we all have the ability and desire to do and be our best. So many people give up and settle for what is mediocre. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you don’t feel like you are good enough it will never happen.
