Your chances of success in anything you choose to do is measured by your belief in yourself. It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. Where you are from, or circumstances from your past, cannot hold you back unless you choose to allow them to, and unfortunately, many people tend do just that.
I've heard so many people talk about how poor they were growing up, and have adopted what I call a victim mentality which they have stamped on themselves, not allowing them to move forward to better themselves. Growing up poor does not keep you from being successful.
If you want to take some classes, If you want to get that degree that you've been putting off, if you want to learn to play an instrument, if you want to get a better job, if you want to start a new hobby, if you want to start a new business or if you want to just spend your time not doing much of anything, the choice is yours.
Don't put yourself in a situation where years from now you find yourself reflecting on what you might have been, could have been or should have done.
If anything, make a habit of striving for perfection. None of us will ever be perfect, but if you make a habit of striving for perfection, you are sure to catch excellence along the way, and excellence will take you a long way.
Always remember, life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. Choose to live your best life now.
