More motivation.

I think that the best part of this video begins at 0:45 in.  I believe, truly believe, that what is addressed there, the fear of being more powerful than we think we are, is what holds us back.  We are afraid of being great which is why there are so few greats in this world.  We are afraid of being special, of breaking away from the pack.  When you're in a group, you blend anonymously.  You are a number, and no different from number 145 or 1183.  But when you step away from that mentality, when you look left when everyone looks right, when you decide to choose a different path, you are often alone.  And it's scary being alone, and the rewards for breaking away can seem to small and insignificant, or so distant that you'll never reach them in your life time or another life time.  It takes a special type of person to do this.  It takes saying "yes" over and over again every time you are questioned.  Don't be afraid to fail.  If you tried, if you gave it everything, you did not fail.  If you pushed your boundaries, before you say, "Well I didn't make it," look around you because you might just be surprised how far "failing" brought you.
