Analysis of Greatest Fear = Greatest Desire
There are two things that drive us -fear and desire
My deepest fear is never reaching my full potential
and likewise never realizing my greatest desire.
My greatest desire is reach my dreams and finding
true, passionate, unadulterated love.
The kind of love and connection that makes you feel
stimulated, satisfied, and fullfilled emotionally, mentally, and sexually.
But somehow my greatest desire is also to never realize my deepest fear.
You see, the two are interconnected, joined at the proverbial hip.
One cannot hope to reach their greatest desire without facing their deepest fears.
