Philosophically, one might even accept fate or destiny as insur- mountable barriers. Yet, aside from those, the immense majority of peo- ple living lives of quiet desperation reside there because of what’s going on in their minds more than on our planet. With credit to Walt Kelly, "We have met the enemy and he is us." We — not others — are more times than not, our worst adversaries. I mean this not in a condescend- ing, judgmental manner, as one might hear from no-nonsense hyper-achievers, "Just pull yourself up from the bootstraps, suck it in, and get it done. Don’t be such a wimp!" One cannot change years of brain wave patterns in the same manner in which he switches on or off a light. Negative thoughts today — click — positive henceforth. My objective today is also not designed to illustrate how messed up we are; I don’t think that’s true, we’re all doing the best we know how to do. With appropriate disclaimers admitted, if we accept that we are standing in our own way, it begs the question, "Why would we do that?" Why do we NOT reach further, dream larger, and believe better? The primary answer is: Fear; Fear of Success, and its dastardly sibling, Fear of Failure. These concepts are tossed about often than a well-worn basketball in a high school gym, yet rarely do we take the time to understand the differ- ence between the two. For in doing so, we might be able to get past them. Usually, Fear of Suc- cess is an apprehension that achieving one’s goals could generate future events unforeseen or out of one’s control and we won’t know what to do with them. For example, if I lose weight, members of the opposite sex might look at me differently. I might need to deal with flirting, or even sexual tensions, that — until now — have been kept at bay by the extra layers in which I can (literally and figuratively) hide. Another illustration could be that I worry friends who currently social- ize with me around food (such as going out to lunch) might no longer feel comfortable doing so. What will we do then? Will I lose friend- ships? Will I become lonely? Fear of Success’s baseline con- cern is I might not like the way things are right now, but at least I know how to handle them. Change them and it could be worse. Fear of Failure, far more com- mon, is being scared that my goals are really just empty pipe dreams. The regret in attempting it — and failing — would be so much more devastating than the conditions in which I now find myself, that I’d rather just stay put. In other words, "If I don’t do anything, I can’t fail and therefore, I won’t be disappointed. As it stands currently, at least I have my fantasy to com- fort me. I am unwilling to risk those."

Lincoln Street students make canyon trek Courtesy photo Students and parents from Lincoln Street Independent School participated in an outdoor learning experience at the Gray Davis/Dye Creek preserve recently. A 5-mile hike through the canyon was led by teacher and docent Chris Byrd. Students learned about several indigenous plants in the area and what they were used for by the Native Americans who inhabited the area, including Ishi, the last of Yahi-Yani Tribe.
