Greetins All! First off I would like to say I do not own The Hunger Games series, durrr. Second, I would like to dedicate this little drabble to My sister Primrose, aka Cherie-24-Addict. Love ya!
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"
-Dr. Robert Schuller
Katniss Everdeen held the cup of warm tea in her numb hands. It was cold in the woods today. Yet, that was to be expected.
She pondered the thought that Prim had given her that morning before she left to hunt. What would she do if she knew she could not fail? Katniss' answer? Everything.
Katniss would feed her starving district. She would see to it that the annual Hunger Games were no more. She would take on (and destroy) the capital. She would live happily ever after.
But, such thoughts are for dreamers, thinking such things would surely lead to no good. And, such actions are for the insane, and would lead to certain death. But, then again, certain death didn't sound too bad. At least not to Katniss.
A thought came to her. What was stopping her from actually attempting these things? Fear, she thought. Fear of certain death, fear of failing. It was a rational fear, she knew. But, not a useful one.
So, as Katniss Everdeen sits in the stillness of the woods outside District 12, holding her cup of tea in her numb hands, she believes she would do anything if she knew she could not fail. Yet that fear would always hold her back.
"What would you do if you knew you could not fail?"
Think about it.
