Fear is man's greatest instinct, use it don't eliminate it.
You don't have to be perfect to be Someone.
But you have to be something or else what's the point?
Don't let your fears take over you.
But allow them to drive you.
There might be bad days. But so their WILL be good days, GREAT days.
If this is your life, truly you life? Than why choose to run, to hide for something that has the mission to destroy you?
Yes, they might have the mission but I have the dream!
I won't be the one who follows, but the one who leads.
The one who stood up for something.
I'm bigger than you are, I'm tougher than you are, I'm Greater than you ever will be.
You don't have to be perfect to be someone.
But history knows, one day, I will be...

Identify your passion; pursue it; be resilient; persevere. Cultivate a 'to die for' attitude. Be competitive (with yourself); be humble; be sincere.
You have your seed. Plant it, water it and make it grow as staunch and as thick as possible.
Introspect a little and just think about this: You live in a 13.7 billion year old Universe, which is expanding at an increasing rate. There are billions upon billions of galaxies in the observable Universe. Each galaxy, on average, contains billions upon billions of stars. Most stars, on average, are parents to several planets - meaning, there are trillions upon trillions of planets in the Universe. A decent portion of these planets may potentially contain the ingredients for life and some most likely even do nurture and support life. Now, in this particular remote part of the Universe, we find ourselves on an organic microscopic mote of dust. Millions upon millions of distinct species. One of those species being Homo sapiens. 7 billion of us conscious, sentient, little carbon critters, and we have the ability to comprehend our own existence and everything around us. Out of all the countless atoms that make up this Universe, a very small amount have come together momentarily to be YOU just for a brief moment. This brief moment under the beautiful Sun is yours. You create your own life's meaning, manufacture your own motivation and identify your own passion and strengths. It means absolutely nothing to this Universe, or the stranger on the other side of the globe you've never met if you don't make the most of your precious time. Yes, time is precious, my friend. You may repeat everything you did yesterday today, but the moment will never be the same. Like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice. Those unique collection of atoms and that precise time has already passed. You have aged. You will never be 5 again; you will never be 22 again; you will never be as young as you were yesterday. You will never be as young as you were before you started reading this, if you've decided to stay on board and continue reading this, that is. However, it means absolutely everything to you and those who care about you if you seize the moment and dedicate each and every fibre of your being to do whatever it is that brings a smile on your face. Maybe you like to write, maybe you like to sing, maybe you like to play a certain sport, maybe you like to help your fellow man and be as compassionate in all your actions as you can be. I don't know. Only you know that. That's why I'll say it again, introspect a little. Identify your strengths. The sky is not the limit. There is NO limit. We humans are capable of extraordinary things. Passion built the iPhone; passion built the computer, the Internet, the car, the airplane, the medicine that heals us. The said phenomena do not occur naturally. We are, therefore, this all is.
First and foremost, it's about your attitude and your mindset. When you understand and acknowledge that there will never be another collection of atoms that will ever comprise to create another you and that whatever you do will never be recreated, then you'll start to thrive in even the smallest of your endeavors. When you notice even the littlest of things, such as a bee pollinating, or a child smiling, or the green grass and the beautiful blue sky, then you'll be successful. On a clear night, sit outside and look at the countless stars. Just stare at the absolute beauty and sheer magnificence of the cosmos. I understand that there will come a time when I will no longer exist. It is this mindset that gives me the momentum to give it my absolute all in everything that I do, because I will never have the opportunity to recreate that unique moment. My actions will etched in history through my children and family and friends, and most probably even a society at large because I am determined to improve the lives of those who I know can never return the favor in the same manner. I decide how loud my actions will echo throughout history.
Success is relative, meaning we define success individually. My definition of success may not be your definition of success. So, don't look at the passion and motivation others have, compare that to who you are and feel small and bad about yourself. You are unique. You have the exact potential Michael Jordan had, Einstein had, Darwin had, Martin Luther King had, Eminem had, Aristotle and Plato had, and so on.
Be hungry
Be passionate
Be motivated

Be confident
Be ALIVE
