“If you start doing things that frighten you or you don’t know, there’s a very good chance you will actually open up your consciousness. The important thing is confronting your own fears. If you’re afraid of pain, that is exactly what you have to experience to find out what pain is. When you open the door to pain, you might find out you can actually control it. You might be free of the fear of pain, which is a great feeling.”

If you’re afraid of failing, that is exactly what you have to experience to find out what failing is. When you open the door to failing, you might find out you can actually control it. You might be winning, which is a great feeling.
