Look around: there are lots of amazing people doing some pretty cool things. Now realize this: they’re doing the same and they’re looking at you, and while most of us don’t think we’re anything special, the things we do look pretty amazing to them. But when we look in the mirror we tend to notice only the flaws rather than the good things we are and do. Instead, try focusing on the friends and family that love you, the colleagues at work that rely on you, the small things you do for others that they appreciate, and the good that comes of your efforts. And if there are flaws, realize that everyone has them and that they’re nothing more than opportunities to improve. Amazing things are achieved by good people who try hard and care a lot. Like the song says: ‘If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same’. Take time to realize that you’re amazing just the way you are today.
Bruno Mars (b. 1985): American Singer Songwriter, and Choreographer; from his song “Just the Way You Are on the Album: Doo-Wops & Hooligans
