You aren't afraid of failure. You're afraid of replacing the mediocre habits and routines that your brain loves so much. You're afraid of taking the first step into the unknown and never coming back to the lite that keeps you the same. Many people stay in situations that drain them simply because the discomfort is known, while the alternative is uncertain. But growth often asks you to choose the harder path now so it can become easier later. What feels uncomfortable at first is usually the doorway to something better.
