Are you an underachiever? There was a time in my life, when I stopped what I was doing, and looked around at my environment, and then asked myself, why am I here? Despite being a Chemical Engineer, and being one of the top in my class as well as passing the FE/EIT exams (for engineering), I was nowhere near where I should have been. I was stuck in a menial job, when all the while I should have been striving for more.

It got me thinking, was I an underachiever? the simple answer was yes. I was afraid of putting myself out there, afraid of failure, and most of all I kept thinking I wasn’t as smart as the rest. But all of those thoughts were wrong, turned out to be false, and all contributed to my life of not achieving the goals I had set out for myself when I was just starting college.

In other words, there are no limits to your success except those which you set yourself. It took me a while to figure it out, but for some, unfortunately, they never really ask themselves the important questions, and thus never truly realize their full potential.

Limits are for the average, and negativity are for — losers. You need to dream the possible dream, keep your goals a reality, and always believe that you are the best. There is something to be said about confidence, and even the most average will succeed over the brightest individual because of that sense of confidence.

To achieve is to be confident in your abilities and knowing that you are as good, if not better, than anyone else out there.
