Absolutely. It took me a long time to break out of the normie mindset myself though so I don’t judge. Change is costly in terms of time/energy/risk. The fear is an illusion but it’s often a well founded illusion.

Yes and in the end ones bias has a lot of influence. When my mind is looking for failure, most probably it will find it.
So most often it is important to decide freely what to look for. Since it is more likely to find it then not.
It all depends if I decide to look out and recognize success or do the same for failure.
