I just realized that there are two kinds of people.

1. People who excel rapidly because they have everything or something to lose. These are the ones who are able to do more because of adrenaline, and fear. The instinct to survive just to come out of the situation with little to no damage from the challenge they're facing. Where their capacity to think breaks the limit just to do something that is dear to them.

2. People who excel because they have nothing to lose. These are the ones who are constantly worried about the consequences of their actions. They are the opposite of the above, they can't excel because they are afraid of what might happen to the things/people they hold dear if they fucked up. Overthinking, anxiety, and paranoia rules them. However once they know that the things and people will be safe no matter, their chains are broken. The concern and worrying that subconsciously and passively manifested into a mental load has been removed. Their brain is now free and can think more clearly. They can now go all out.

So which of the two are you?
