We've had a lot of people join in the last few days, but I'm not seeing anyone get involved just yet. Don't be scared guys, everyone in here joined for the same reason as you. We've been conditioned into consumption, into waiting for other people to start something so that we can follow along, but the point of this community is to take first action. Post something, literally anything at all, anything that you want to get off your chest, or ask other people, or ask me. Even just an introduction and saying why you joined. It will be so helpful for all the other people in the same position as you to see examples of people stepping up to take action.
I'm gonna start in this thread and I hope other people will join me.
- What is everyone's biggest fear, the thing that makes your heart race to think about it
- Do you want to be afraid of that? Is it a fear that helps you or hurts you?
- What could you do to face it and get rid of it? And why haven't you done it yet.
For me personally, I think my worst nightmare would be having to sing in front of other people, which might sound weird to you all because I have no problem with public speaking. For me I have gone so long avoiding it that its made it into a bigger thing in my head so the challenge just grows and grows, but if I never face it, it will keep growing and never stop. I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but that is exactly why we tend not to face fears. It sounds ridiculous to say that if you are afraid of heights, you should go find a rollercoaster and force yourself to do it until you aren't afraid anymore. The key point is that you won't beat your fears by accident. Its way too easy to avoid them, so if you don't do it on purpose, you will die with the same fears you have now.
