You're not scared of failure. You're scared of being seen failing. Scared your friends will laugh.
Scared your parents will be disappointed. Scared strangers on the internet will think you're a loser. So instead of trying, you wait.
You overthink. You're not protecting your future. You're protecting your ego, and it's costing you everything.
Failure hurts, but regret it destroys. Failing stings for a little while, but not trying. That sticks to your soul.
You'll watch others do what you wanted to do, and it'll eat you alive because you could have, but you didn't. And the worst part, no one cares as much as you think. The post that flopped, the project that failed, most people forgot.
They're too busy thinking about their own lives. You are the only one holding on to it. Failure is not a sign to stop.
It's a sign to go again. Every win is built on a stack of losses. So stop waiting to feel ready.
You become ready by doing. You become fearless by failing. You've wasted enough time protecting a version of yourself that doesn't grow.
Now it's time to move. Let them laugh. Let them doubt.
