"Nuestro mayor temor no es que fracasemos, sino que seamos poderosos más allá de toda medida."
— Steven Pressfield
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people are more afraid of their potential for success than of failing. Think about a student who has all the talent to be the best in the class but doesn't try hard because they worry about what might come with success. They might fear the attention, higher expectations, or more responsibilities that success brings. It’s like being scared of climbing a mountain not because of the possibility of falling but because reaching the top means dealing with everything that comes next. Famous people like athletes or leaders often struggle with this. Instead of fearing failure, they sometimes worry about how to handle the greatness they can achieve. If we understand this fear and overcome it, we can allow ourselves to reach our full potential and embrace the challenges that come with success.
