I was inspired to respond to a post by a friend and reached this profound conclusion about life, here is what I wrote:

I have let both fear of failure and the pressure of success keep me from many notions and dreams. When we fear and let the dream go we tend to stand in one place, not moving forward. Life/God/the Universe will push you forward by making what doesn't work for you crumble. You wonder why life is against you when really you were against your true nature and yourself. So take a chance and take a risk but do your research and educate. Baby steps and you will be lifted to your goal.
