Shift your energy from protecting yourself from failure to squeezing the life out of life.
Passionately protest mediocrity.
Sometimes even feeling bad feels good. Negative emotions can feel so familiar (especially if they mimic our past) as to actually be comforting. Awareness is realizing that our life could always be better. Growth is doing what it takes to make it better.
You don't have to be fearless. Just be sincere.
Gratitude puts everything into perspective.
It's not about the goal, it's about how you want to feel when you get there.
