I strive for it every day, and I know that with support and passion, it's possible. Like you, I've been guilty of thinking I have to settle and that I'm not good enough for "fantastic."

Now I've identified that as the same need most people have of just wanting our lives to mean something. We want to touch others with our words, our actions, whatever.
