I guess the trick is just to remind yourself every single day of what your goal is, and to remember that it is a worthy goal.  Also remember that even if you do fail, so long as you’ve still got your wits and your health, the worst thing you can lose is money and maybe your friends or your respect.  Whatever it is, if the goal is worthy in your own head, it’s just worth moving forward.  Make big moves and learn from your mistakes.  Don’t start something you don’t intend to finish unless you have a DAMN good reason not to finish it.

Because there will be that nagging feeling.  Something will inevitably not go exactly your way, and you’ll wake up one morning with some kind of doubt in yourself.  And we are defined by our response to that.  You can either dig your trenches deeper and commit yourself to success, or you can abandon the project for the “safety” an average life. But true glory comes from sticking it through and defeating the odds.  I beg you to make waves.
