    Never allow yourself to be _too comfortable_

    I'm crying right now. Being 26 and still dependant on others made me realize how I got here. I was a Straight A student in highschool and now here, in my parents basement, I let my fear win. I was so scared of going to university because of the debt I would incur that I delayed and delayed until last year I was 25 working at a Mcjob thinking "You are not being cautious, you are being weak, take a risk."
    My victim mind screamed: no, you have a mental illness, its okay. And your parents enabled you to live with them. Plus, why risk so much debt?
    But I know the truth; I just was scared of failure. Guess what? Even if I wasn't mentally ill, and my parents pushed me, and I was debt free from college, there is still the possibility of things going really wrong. That's life.

      The only way to truly fail is to never try.. Sometimes a bad move is better than no move at all.. You can learn and recover from a bad move, but staying stagnant and safe gets you nowhere. Plus good opportunities will come along when you're active and involved..

I know this is going to be a roller coaster ride, however, I believe in living life by sitting in the front seat with my hands in the air. I know the odds are stacked against me, but like I said, I’ll crawl if I have to👊

    Love how he smiles as he delivers a message about hurt. He must get a little ego boost or pleasure in others pain? Maybe my spidey senses are off..
    Not usually, but okay.
    Here's another way to look at it. Everyone each gets up to like 95 years and the last arent even the good ones. So, no matter what, dont be afraid bc were all going to get the same ending. It is the resurrection based on a judgement that we can be afraid of. All the body builders, famous athletes, military people, and everyone in between gets the same ending.
    That should humble us. How many of us are halfway there or pretty close?

    It’s weird because what you said made sense.
    I always get thoughts of fuck what if I never reach my goals what if In 10 years time I’m like 99% of the population just working, eating and sleeping and repeat. I understand we are humans and eating, sleeping and eating is what we do but I can’t stand the thought of having to go to a job I hate and be dependent on someone else meaning my boss. Because if I get fired that’s it I’m fucked untill I find another job. This fear of not being successful is what makes me push myself.
    I’m glad other people thing the same

    No disrespect but, fear of failure is a shitty outlook and should be dumped immediately. Worry only begets more worry and procrastination. Worry is useless. One only needs to be a man that takes action to reach his goals come what may. If failure comes it's another opportunity for something better. Example: No man looks at his new, hot girlfriend and thinks ''man, I wish I didn't break up with my ex last year, that foul mouthed harpy that couldn't be trusted''. No!! Fear is shite. It's a negative emotion. Stay positive and that positive high energy will help you push yourself.
