I'm Afraid Of Being Afraid!

 Wow. Today's "Tools" session was all about fear. Is that the killer, or what?

When I start listing the absolutely ridiculous things I fear ... I could be gone for a week! The final result is that now ...

... I'm AFRAID OF FEAR!

What a cycle! It feeds on itself. The more you fear ... the more things you find to fear. You could spend your entire life worrying about the next horrible thing that MIGHT happen.

Well, guess what? SOME of them might actually occur. The HUGE majority, however, are smoke you puffed up all by your lonesome.

As a performer I can recount literally hundreds of times that I was almost frozen before a performance ... shaking and vomiting and finally, when I knew that wasn't going to help at all, indulging in the Greatest Escape ... falling asleep!

Well ... every one of those times turned out to be based on a mirage.

I've learned that I don't want to live my life subject to almost uncontrollable sleep. I want to live it WIDE AWAKE ... savoring every moment and helping anyone else I can find to do the same.

I find that, if I can really stay in the present moment ... there is nothing to fear. If I can stop mucking around in the past which I can't change, or flitting on flights of fancy through some dream future that hasn't happened yet ... then I'm fine.

Right here. Right NOW.

That's where I want to be.

I'm just afraid I can't do it.

Cool
