Motivated to do great things

Even though we are only halfway through orientation, I’ve learned one of the most important things I will learn this weekend. I learned that we probably will always have feelings that we’re not good enough. But as long as that feeling motivates us to do great things instead of breaks us, then it’s a good fear to have. The moment we feel that we are good enough is the moment we stop trying to do great things. By that, we set limitations on our achievement and success. So we must maintain in our minds that we can and will do better. That thinking sets the stepping stone in our careers.
