The fear that's holding you back

Have you ever taken 5 minutes to reflect that all the "big" personalities such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs (r.i.p.), Joe Biden and even Vladimir Putin and whoever else you are on this list want to be included, are subject to the same physical and mental foundations as you?

They are all hungry and need to eat and drink.
They all have to go to the toilet and sometimes have diarrhea.
Just like you, they are drained, tired and need to sleep and get out of bed every morning.
They all get sick from time to time and lie in bed with the flu with aching limbs and a fever.
They are all subject to decay, just like you, and must one day die.

But do you know what makes they different from you?
They are not afraid.

Fear of failure.
Fear of what might happen.
Fear of what might not happen.
Fear of other people's opinions.

Right now is the time to stop being scared and just get going. The people around you are way too self-absorbed and will give a shit about what you do or don't do. They didn't yesterday and they won't tomorrow either.

"I have spent my whole life scared. Frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen. Fifty years I spent like that. Finding myself awake at three in the morning. But you know what? Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine. What I came to realize is that fear, that's the worst enemy. So, get up, get out in the real world and you kick that bastard as hard as you can right in the teeth!" - Walter White in Breaking Bad
