I won't settle for anything but greatness.

I was talking to a friend of mine today about taking a giant leap of faith to achieve your dreams. He really made me think about believing in myself. I mean if you think about it, don't you think you're as good as the person sitting next to you? At the very least, don't you think you should be given the chance to prove yourself? Maybe you'll fail, but what if you don't?

The fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not. The jump is what counts. Going out and doing it, whatever it may be. A game of poker, backpacking across Europe, whatever it is doesn't matter so as long as you want it; you want it so much you couldn't live with yourself if you didn't try.

I decided today that I won't settle for anything but greatness. You'll see. One day my byline will be worth something.
