Fear

What keeps us back from reaching newer heights is fear. The talented musician gives in to the herd and pursues a safe career. Fear of what if I am not able to make it, fear of being penniless. To trounce fear is important to move ahead, it can give exponential growth

But the challenge lies in recognizing the fear. Sometimes fear is conscious and many at times unconscious. A cynic is fearful of taking responsibility hence just doubts everything around. That's unconscious fear, he does not realize it ever and takes defence in intelligent cynicism. Then there are rational and irrational fears. The rational fears are not harmful like jumping off a moving train has to be associated with rational fear of getting hurt but it is the irrational fears which are troublesome. The question however comes what is irrational to one may not be irrational to another. Where do you draw a line? How do you keep growing to keep redefining these limits....

I fear the dark and its vice habitants,
I fear the light and its truth exposures,
I fear both and know not where to go.
