I liked it too Vicki. Esp the looks and long pauses after the question is posed.

Reminds me of the question “what would you do if you knew you could not fail?”

living with the fear of really living is no way to live.

Agree…yet we do. Reminds me of the Helen Keller quote:

I grew up in such a fearful home—never make waves, never jeopardize the status quo. This is what I needed today to remember all that fear is a concept, not a fact.

An imagined thought rather than reality.

What holds me back…. a deep rooted negative self image of myself. The fear of being exposed and really seen. Things like failure and uncertainty I’m ok with. The problem with fears, when not faced, is that they spread into every facet of our lives without us even realizing it. Great video, thanks for sharing 🙂

Thanks for sharing Sam. Your fears are shared by many. Good enough. Enough. Reminds me of Little Duck: https://davidkanigan.com/2013/07/19/little-ducks-thoughts/

Always surprises me to hear how fear directs the behavior of so many. Fear of failure, fear of ridicule, fear of disappointment. Ya think you’re the only one struggling, and yet… I was just speaking to someone the other day, an older gentleman, and he said, “Hell, if you’re not failing, you’re not trying.” A cliche, perhaps, but the veracity of the statement struck me nonetheless. Ya can’t always win/succeed, but you most certainly will go nowhere if you don’t even try…

And that is the punch line. Don’t try…then what?
