"People always ask me what it took to get where I am today - What it takes to reach this level of success - Sacrifice - We make heroes of ourselves in the name of sacrifice. What we are willing to give up in the pursuit of a dream. So stop kidding yourself go after what you want.
There is no sacrifice in success, there are no obstacles, there is nothing between you and the goal. You see, if you succeed on your own terms you don't owe anyone any explanation. But if you fail on their terms you have a lot of explaining to do. A man doesn't strive for greatness and embrace mediocrity. There is no compromise in a dream.
Compromise is an excuse for falling short while you lay on your couches, in front of your TV's, with your remote control and your glasses of beer watching somebody else run with your dreams - your dreams. So do me a favor - don't wake up one morning when your hair is grey, when the elastic is gone out of your waistline, with shaving cream all over your face and then you look in that mirror and you ask yourself what the hell have I been doing for the past 30 years - this isn't my life, this isn't where my passion lies - do something before that happens.
Don't be afraid of your ambitions, if other people hold you back you don't want it badly - and don't tell me you do because other people don't stop you from dreaming - you stop yourself. You get in your own way because you are afraid of what you might become even if that something is a wonderful, wonderful thing
