"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult"

This quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca speaks to the concept that we often restrict ourselves by our own worries and doubts. We can become so bewildered by the difficulty of a task that we do not even try it, as well as in doing so, we make it a lot more difficult. Seneca is suggesting that if we can push previous our own worries as well as doubts, we can usually discover that the task is not as tough as we originally thought. He is urging us to take risks and to not hesitate of failing. He is advising us that it is not the difficulty of the job that need to stop us, but instead our very own absence of guts. By having the nerve to take risks and also to attempt new points, we can commonly find that the job is not as challenging as we initially thought.
