Fear is the mind killer. Don't be afraid of anything.

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.” — Søren Kierkegaard

“To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.” — Robert Louis Stevenson

Don't compare yourself to others. It's your journey, not theirs. Fulfillment comes from personalizing your dreams and goals.
