We don’t like to start new things because we fear failing.
Every conceivable reason that our new adventure will not work springs to the forefront of our minds.
We follow the stream of consciousness that ultimately ends up in our losing everything.
And so we are defeated before we even begin. We have quit before we even start. Fear has caused us to fail.
That’s the good news. The good news is that failing to start is failure. I have already failed. I have faced that which I was afraid of. Now, i don’t have to fear it anymore.
So if doing nothing is automatic failure, we may as well try. We have nothing else to lose.
