Why do we freeze?

Because we've been told we're not good enough.
Because we think we have no choice.
Because fitting in seems safer than standing out.
Because doing something incorrectly feels riskier than not doing anything at all.
Because taking action would mean we're on our own.
Because following the rules gives us deniability.
Because an hour of television a day seems better than an hour of fruitful failure a day.

It doesn't have to be this way. Get off this train of settling.
