What do I fear?
I fear stagnation and lack of progress.
I fear never reaching my full potential and being average.
I fear being forgotten... The past... Yesterday's news.
I fear giving up and being passed by, going softly into that good night.
I fear letting those I love down, letting myself down.
I fear settling, giving in to "that's just the way it is" mindset.
I fear dying without leaving my mark.
I fear not feeling these fears anymore and just floating along. These fears feed me, they nourish my drive.

I love my fear.
