Some stars are dim while others are very bright, it's now a matter of choice to become the dim or
that bright star.
Your present location and circumstances around you should not determine the kind of star you would become. Live your life and do not copy someone else's, you never know if that person is living a lie life or not. Perhaps, the person may even wish to be you.
So appreciate what you have and don't try to please everybody in this life because, the more you try pleasing everyone, you end up not pleasing yourself thereby loosing everyone.
Just focus on that dream and work towards it everyday and I believe you would definitely become that star you have always wish to be.
Perfection is not about how long you practice but how often you rehearse.
