"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." -Michelangelo
Why do we aim low? Because we're afraid of failing. Because we don't have enough confidence to aim higher. Because it's easy.
When you aim high, you take a risk. You may struggle financially. You may lose a few "friends" because you tried something that they are unwilling to try. Or... you just may succeed!
You only get one shot at this life thing. Go for it. Stop sitting around and waiting for the pieces to fall into place. Get up and gather the pieces yourself. It may be risky, but at the end of your journey, the risks you take will be your greatest memories. And with all of those great memories to fill you up, you won't have room for regret.
