Is lack of courage. Lack of self-knowledge. Lack of understanding that everyone can succeed.

You may disagree but our society fails us all in the respect that it refuses to teach us about our own individuality, even on a spiritual level.

We are inculcated that we are part of a whole or we are nothing at all. Rubbish.

We are part of a whole but we exists as individuals with our own personalities, foibles, shortcomings, aspirations, dreams, and certainly fears.

To overcome anything requires courage first, I feel. Where are you taught courage?

It requires knowledge...the kind that only a individual can obtain on their own.

It requires understanding the fact that you can succeed.

But who is there to tell us this???????????????????

After you, or anyone responds I want to conclude with another thought...
