If a part of you strongly suspect that you can do it, you can do it, even if it is something that you fear most. Henry Ford said “whether you think you can, or you think you can’t -- you're right.” So it’s your call to either decide on cheering, chanting or dancing in support of others, or decide on being like others. Whichever way you choose, that’s the direction you’ll naturally direct all your energy.
But know that in this life, you will not become a success story if you cannot challenge yourself to overcome ordinariness. You cannot even have a winning relationship if being a backup girlfriend or boyfriend is fine by you. Unfortunately this is a challenge for most of us. Granted, our culture demands that we maintain a low view of our individual importance, but it never said we should bastardise the tenet by taking servility for humility.
Stephen Richards said: “It is not enough if you just live life as it comes to you like a floating leaf in a pond. Make use of the powers bestowed in you and soar like an eagle.” So even if your belief prepares you to not despair, even though your situation is not so far from the least fulfilling, never be a bare-minimum minded person. It will take you far.
