22. Talk about your worst fear

Succumbing to the idea of failure. 

The moment you consider failure as a tangible option on which to settle, it is already a misstep towards a negative perspective. Here's the deal - sometimes, things don't work, mistakes happen, uncontrollable circumstance will eventually lead to the demise of an endeavour, relationships will fall out, resources will thin. In a general sense, technically, these are forms of failed processes. But beyond that, on a different systematic scale - these are not failures, if you work through them, develop them, nurture them, and then proceed with an alternative, progressive route. Turning a hellish disposition into a datum point of change takes a lot of mental energy, but you gain values that will honestly (and I say this through experience) make you a better character in the long run. It'll teach you that you are vulnerable, that you are human, that shit happens - but you will live through the day, even beyond, and go on to greater things.
