“How did you become so fearless?β
“Do you have a vase? Think you have one. Antique. Beautiful. Expensive. But you are bored with it, and you want to do something new with it. But itβs not easy. Why? Because you fear losing it. Because youβre afraidβwhat if something happens to your vase?
But suppose someday it breaks. Then youβll have only broken pieces of it. It wonβt look so beautiful anymore. Itβll be nothing more than scrap. And then, youβll have no fear of doing anything with it. Itβs useless now, but you can recreate it with those broken pieces. And perhaps the new one will look even more beautiful than the old one.
So that broken vase was me. And still is. Scrap and waste. I have no fear of losing anything because I have nothing to lose. But I know I can rebuild myself from those broken pieces. I can make myself more beautiful and stronger than before. And thatβs how I became fearless.β
From the example of the vase, I want to tell you that there are two types of people in this world. People who have never failed at something are afraid to try something new. But those who have failed at some point in their lives eventually become fearless.
