Fear.

既來之，則安之 「Since you are here, you may as well stay and make the best of it.」

Fear. The ultimate reason behind one’s distress. The fear to try, fear to fail, fear of being humiliated. Not incapability, but fear holds people back from achieving their dreams.

Yet quite, on the contrary, mistakes make us “fail forward.” We learn something new with each failure. There is no failure except no longer trying. It is the courage to continue that counts. — Chris Bradford

I wish us all to be fearless, having the relentless courage to fight the little demons inside, to step out of the darkness and shine bright.
