More is less. Less is more.

"I wish I could have done more"
"I wish I could do more"
"I hope I could get the opportunity to do more"
"I'm so upset. I'm not doing enough"

Are examples of thoughts that are almost always haunting me. I'm always stuck with this idea that I'm capable of doing much more than what I'm doing right now. I'm the kind of person that always pushes himself to the limits. I enjoy challenging my own limits. It makes me feel like I'm contributing to something, making good use of my limited time here, and that's what has always been pushing me to keep going and do things.

Up until now, I think it's been going pretty well for me; having that kind of mentality. I like it so much that I don't think I'll ever abandon it. It has grown on me so much that it has become an integral part of who I am. A personality trait, if you might say.

What I think I need though is to learn how to tame it, because it is as wild as a wild plant in the woods. It looks good from afar, but could get dangerously poisonous. I need to be at peace with the fact that I am actually doing well, sure, I could do more at any giving moment in my life, but that doesn't mean that I'm not doing enough at that very moment.

For everyone who believes in their hidden potential, their ability to achieve great things and are deeply saddened by their inability to live up to their own standards and accomplish as much as they would like to right now, I want you to take a moment and be glad that you're that person you are because you are a great person and the world needs more passionate and strong-willed people like yourself. 

It may not happen now, or even any time soon, but you will have your breakthrough and it will turn your life upside down, don't rush it. Your enthusiasm and excitement might fade away slowly with time, but that's okay, just try and keep some of it until your moment comes.

Have faith and hold on tight.
Great things take time.
