That gave me anxiety just reading your description. Is there any safer way to get to Machu Picchu?

You can practice mindfulness and gratitude without being complacent when it comes to your position in life. It doesn't mean that you just sit there and accept what you have and be a slave, nor does it mean that you ignore reality or logical possibilities

Successful people didn't get that way with defeatist attitudes. Failure is just a speed bump on the road to success. How you view that failure, or the possibility of failure, determines how far you're willing to go in order to reach your goals.

Way too much salt imo.
