This was quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech. It is something that has inspired me since I was young and it is something that I truly believe in. There is no point in spending time worrying if you are adequate, worthy or what others may think of you. Hiding behind your fears does not only fail to serve youself it more importantly fails to serve the world in which you live. Go out on a limb, take a risk, go after your dreams, make a statement...BE PASSIONATE! We live in a society, especially here in Australia, where we like to pull down those who are acheiving, aka "Tall poppy syndrom" but it is so important to have self belief and go after what you want and be proud of your achievements.
So go out there and serve the world by going after what you want and achieving your dreams!!
