And that's the truth

Dealing with life takes many forms. One way of dealing is not to deal. One way of not dealing is convincing myself that I have no choice, that I am a victim.

A victim of what, my lack of intelligence, or understanding, or money? Perhaps it is simply my fear of the unknown? Failure can be less threatening than the unknown. Believing I am a victim might appear easier, but the truth will eventually point out others in this same position who did better.

Guilt and self doubt destroy more lives than actual failure, so I try to ask myself what will happen if I fail? It is surprising how little it often is.
