I don’t think a lot of people know the level of worry or anxiety that comes with being committed to changing at the very least. Changing, striving for success, motivation, dedication, persistence is all driven partially by fear.

You are afraid. Afraid to not fit in, to not be cool, to miss out, to fall behind, to fail, to get something wrong, to let someone down, to not live up to your own expectations, to not reach your dreams. With all of these things being said, there is no other way around it. When I did years in cell and behind those walls, I wanted change and success more than sleep.

So I present very strong, focused, determined. But inside, I constantly worry about my next move, my future, my capability, what I will end up being, what I will be able to say as I look back on my life.

It is a superpower to know how to use your fear to manifest the good in you.
