I think one of my greatest fears is not moving forward, not growing or learning. There are so many lessons to learn, everyday even. Something small, like leaving the popcorn in the microwave too long -- to something intangible, like increasing in love for others. Of course, it's not a big deal if you burn popcorn every time, it's just silly and so simple to fix. Just decrease the time you put on the timer and try again.
However, improving one's character is not so straight forward. Often, there might be many steps backward before there can be steps forward, but I don't want to become that old man ridden with bitterness.
I don't want to keep making the same mistakes. I don't want to look back ten years from now and find myself to exactly where I am now. I don't expect to be perfect, but I want to see fruit.
