Cowardice is the practice of using your power to feed your fears
instead of your desires. Instead of creating w h a t y o u w a n t , y o u create
w h a t y o u don't w a n t .
W h e n y o u worry that exercising your p o w e r will cause y o u to
make too m a n y mistakes, y o u feed the fear of failure. The truth Is that
y o u will sometimes fail. S o m e of your failures may even be spectacu-
lar blunders, but that's nothing to worry about. It's better to fail as
the powerful being y o u are instead of trying to hide from the truth
and live as a mouse. W h e n y o u shrink from failure, y o u only w e a k e n
yourself. W h e n y o u make mistakes a n d learn from t h e m , y o u grow
stronger.
W h e n y o u worry that exercising your power will bring y o u too
m u c h responsibility, y o u feed the fear of success. T h e truth is that
you're always completely responsible for everything in your reality.
You have no choice but to carry the world on your shoulders, since
y o u can't decline the results y o u witness. You can never reduce your
responsibility by trying to make yourself powerless. Total responsibility
is inescapable.
The only sensible choice is to consciously claim your power and
do the best y o u can with it. Focus your attention on w h a t y o u w a n t ,
not on w h a t y o u don't w a n t , and accept the weighty responsibilities
of power.
