the subconscious works consistently according to the habits we experience, so very precisely what you say @ javybar, we are more afraid to fail than to try, because our mind leads us that failure is more painful, when it is all just a life process ,, why we do not learn to enjoy every inch of the process ,,
be happy with what we accomplished today and so on
that is the feeling and thought we all need to overcome in order to move forward my friend, wishing you the best :)
