Being selfish and delusional are often described as negative traits, but I've come to realize that even they have a role to play in following our passions. If you never learn to take from this world and step up for yourself, even when others or your inner critic disagree, you will struggle to find fulfilment. You are allowed to experience everything you want to, and you need to be somewhat delusional to convince yourself of it. Imagination is a prerequisite of reality. If you don't believe in yourself, convince yourself you can do it and you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish.
