I'm not trying to make you do anything.
Another belief of yours is that other people try to control you, maybe?
EDIT: Not sure why I didn't learn from your other posts that you're too shut-off to be helpable.
EDIT2: I'm also pretty sure I'll be OK (image below). This really is one of those things that doesn't make sense until you do it.

EDIT3: To the OPs question, do what feels right for you. You have gut instincts for a reason. This summer I declined a 100k + 1% equity offer in a 4-person startup valued at $8M with millions in investment capital to burn. Why? Because I knew it wouldn't let ME hit MY GOALS. It didn't satisfy MY passion. You sound like you already know what you want.
That's a lot of old dudes wanting to do hand stands bro
LOL

Chris is right, if all you think about is failure you will see failure. If all you see is chances, you will find chances.
Think about this, look around the room and remember everything that is red
Got it?
Ok how many green things did you see?
You have no idea
Now look for green around the room
How many green things did you see?
Probably a lot of them
The same concept works with opportunities and failures
