“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Train your brain on what to focus on, what to interpret as important.

Fear only becomes an opponent when it becomes our focus.

“And your doubt can become a good quality if you train it. It must become knowing, it must become criticism. Ask it, whenever it wants to spoil something for you, why something is ugly, demand proofs from it, test it, and you will find it perhaps bewildered and embarrased, perhaps also protesting. But don't give in, insist on arguments, and act in this way, attentive and persistent, every single time, and the day will come when, instead of being a destroyer, it will become one of your best workers--perhaps the most intelligent of all the ones that are building your life.”

“When we choose the foods we eat, we either better the world or worsen it, sustain life or dishonor it, improve our health or degrade it. What we eat and how it is grown significantly affects climate and global warming, surpassing all cars, ships, planes, trucks, and railroads in its impact. The food industry severely degrades biodiversity, oceans, rivers, pollinators, grasslands, and animal health.”
