How many of us cheat ourselves out of things...?

Question

Like *alone time, *a love life, *children, *socialization, *keeping healthy, *furthering education, *hobbies, etc.

Answer 1

I think fear is what causes this. People are too afraid to be let down, to do something so dramatic in their lives that if it fails they might loose too much. Fear of getting out of their comfort zone and trying to change themselves.

No one wants to fail and loose everything they had, but in reality no one can actually fail. If you try and do not succeed then you learn something new about yourself. Maybe a strength, maybe a weakness, but in the end you did gain something that is probably worth more than you have given up. Once people learn that then maybe they wont be afraid anymore. If people let fear overcome their life then they wont be able to enjoy the things you have listed above. We shouldnt be afraid. What is there to fear?
