     “It’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.”

                                                                                                                 -Vin Diesel

This week’s quote is from actor, producer and director Vin Diesel. Diesel first appeared in Saving Private Ryan. Some more movies that he is seen in include The Fast and Furious Series and The Pacifier. Vin Diesel was born in New York City, in 1967. In 2002, Diesel was nominated for best actor and won the award for best male performance.

This quote was chosen because many people let their insecurities get in the way of their dreams. Some people are afraid to reach for their goals because they are scared they might get ridiculed. If everyone followed their dreams and didn’t listen to what people say about them then everyone would be a lot more successful. A person’s worst enemy is themselves. Sometimes people don’t realize that the only person standing in the way of their dreams is themselves.
