Just because you are famous and rich doesn't make you successful.
Appreciate your flaws to reach the potential of your greatness.
Failing is not real, it's an optional state of mind.
Your first problem is relying on someone else's word. Always depend on yourself. No one will work as hard for you as you will.
Don't work harder than your competition, be your own competition.
Unless you're God, you are never too "big" to be a fan.
