My number one fear...
Hi Gordon,
I think you're right... "Doing" does seem to be important... In examining myself... I realize that sometimes, I am "frozen" because of fear... And that fear is often the fear of being "judged" by other people! When you fear that... sometimes it's easier to do nothing. If you do nothing, you're not being judged by others! ...But you also generally don't get anywhere! I just thought I'd throw that out there... It recently dawned on me that my activities often fall into those two categories... Activities where I have no fear of being judged (like doing the laundry, for example!), and other activities where I have a fear of being judged (like writing, public speaking, etc.). Those activities where I fear being judged... I often find it harder to get started! I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm probably not the only one like this... Jerry Seinfeld has a joke... I have a feeling that he's absolutely right!"According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy." But I'd broaden it... and say the fear is in reality, the fear of being judged by others... (and that public speaking is just one example of that...) (Just my pet "theory du jour"... ) (Theory of the day...) Best wishes, Dien P.S. Been "out" with the flu the past couple of weeks (tested negative for Covid, though)... but I'm basically "back", now... Quote:
