Don't let other people's fears, insecurities, and limiting attitudes diminish your chances.

In fact, it doesn’t matter at all who is to blame - it is important to decisively leave the past in the past and, starting right now, build your life exactly the way you dream of. One of the saddest things in life is getting to the end and looking back with regret, knowing for sure that you should have done more and become much better than you did.
