What are you afraid of right now? If not outright fear, where do
you feel resistance in your life? Is it centered around new technology? Changes
in your community? Conversations with people who don’t share your political or
social views?
Whatever your fear, I would advise you to explore the possibility
of embracing it. We gain a great deal when we explore our fear, hold it up to
the light, and try to get an objective picture of what, exactly, scares us.
Often our fear is base: Humiliation. Failure. Bewilderment.
Embarrassment. As children, we are forced constantly into our fear. From the
darkness of a bedroom at night to falling off that bike for the first time, we
are in a perpetual state of fear, revelation, and ultimately mastery.
