What’s causing your lack of focus? Be honest.
“I am afraid of failing.
That I will try,
and try,
and keep trying,
and this ceiling above me won't break.
I’m afraid
that in my discomfort
I won't know
how to rise above
it.
“I am afraid to take the risk.
I’m afraid."
The thing about fear is it offers only excuses
And you,
you are just afraid to be disappointed again.
But the biggest disappointment you won’t live down is if you don’t try, and you don’t rise above any failure that may happen, and you don’t find a way to learn from it. Whatever you think is a weighty anchor now, if you allow it to stop you, one day you’ll get up from your mediocre place and will be crushed by all the days you spent fearing disappointment.
If you are afraid to lose everything, one day you’ll realize you never made a sacrifice to begin with; and whatever you thought you’d lose, you’re going to lose even more.
