Before I go to bed I wanted to tell you something.

To succeed in life you don't have to be the best.
With enough drive and dedication, you can do everything "realistic".
The next thing you will be doing try to do it the best as you can, the feeling will be great, trust me.
You might not get rewarded immediately by someone else... the first reward should be in you first, "I have done something right".
This works for me, for others, it might as well.

I just hope it makes sense.

Just work hard, be dedicated and take the aim for your goals.
Don't be lazy, don't do thing just to do them somehow and do the first step, I know it's the hardest but after that, it will be smooth as butter.
