I'm now going to do the most stereotypical, angsty, teenage live journal thing ever

actually, i decided not to do that; HOWEVER
I HAVE decided that when you do not fear the possible negative consequences of a risk, you are more likely to receive the positive benefits...if you want to be at the top, you must be prepared to live on the bottom.
So if I want to trespass inside a baseball stadium and I'm not afraid of being caught and possibly being sent to jail, I'll be more relaxed and calm which will directly contribute to a successful trespassing and more expeditious escape if needed....random? so random.
Let's think of a less random example....
If I want to be an artist and am willing to accept living in poverty, am I not more inclined to take the risk? Moreso, if I'm not afraid of failing, will I not devote my entire self to whatever I'm doing and thus increase my chances of succeeding? All you have to do is not be afraid. It's empowering.
