WEEK FORTY-FIVE:
FEAR FACTOR
"Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better."
-Jim Rohn
Fear Factor is an American stunt!dare reality game show that originally aired between 2001 and 2006. In it, a group of contestants is challenged to perform a number of terrifying and!or disgusting stunts, from driving a dangerous course to eating something really nasty.
The contestant (or team) that manages to complete all of the stunts, including finishing the final stunt in the fastest time, wins the $50,000 prize. The rest? Well, they get nothing (except maybe a lifetime of recurring nightmares).
Life, just like the show, tests just how much we want success. Everyone wants it, but only those who are willing to do or forego what others won't will have it. People always see the public glories of successful people, but rarely witness the personal struggle that came before it. So I ask you: what's your fear factor?
