Being insecure?
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Tim Ferriss
Most people underestimate themselves. So there is less competition for bigger goals. Think about it.

Challenge the pros
Don’t be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard
Colin Powell
This may sound polemic. But consider that you can hardly learn from weaker opponents. So measure yourself with those who are as good, as you want to be.

don’t worry, be active
Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.

If you find yourself in a uncomfortable situation or aren’t satisfied with the way things run, you have to actually do something about it. Just waiting for the world around changing the way you want it to, is the fastest way to displeasure.

Follow your own idea of success
The thing about a successful life, is a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully, are not our own. They are sucked in from other people. These are hugely powerful forces that define what we want, and how we view ourselves. So we should not give up on our ideas of success. But we should make sure that they are our own.

You have to live now
Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.

Be good at something
Be good at something. It makes you valuable.
Randy Pausch
This has to do with focus. Nowadays there can’t be a Da Vinci anymore. You can’t be a good artist, mathematician, engineer, astrophysicist and salesman. The different topics, you might be interested in, have grown. So instead of doing everything a little, pick one and become really good.
