Having Coffee With Fear...

I remember when I was normal...I had a job paid bills, looked forward to my weekends...bought toys, and food to escape. I had no clue how much fear controlled my life...

I had a home,money,job security...so I had fear under control... Lol that's what I thought...

Every once in awhile a deep sensation inside me knew something was off...but I ignored it...

Then it happened...all the years of suppressing fear erupted...losing everything in my life...being homeless...

What this taught me was...if we continue to suppress our inner passions...they will find a way to express...and that way may be job loss, cancer, divorce, or when all that doesn't do the job of waking you the **** up...it kills you...so the game can try again...

Fear is just the suppression of passion...

So everyday I enjoy a cup of coffee with fear, and I talk with it...hey fear was up kid...what can I do to hold space for you...so we can go play?

    Coffee is great. Ditch fear. Is not most all fear ultimately due to illusions?

    Why not just stop over analysing and making judgements about what you think is happening, and instead just go back to work on something and make some money so at least you'll be more comfortable in life and have my time freedom on your side. Then when you're there you'll have the luxury of extra time to start to analyse all these indepth philosophical situations.

    Yes we all have that gut feeling when we know there is something off about our lives. Usually our dissatisfaction comes dreams or goals we did not act upon because we were comfortable already, or making some money to survive.

    But that discontent can lead us to sabotage ourselves like getting ourselves fired (or getting our partner to break up with us) so we will be forced out of our comfort zone and have another chance to work on what we really want.

    As adults however, there are some people that depend on us. We owe it to them not to let things "erupt". Just make plans to do what you need to do. Like starting a side business while you still have your other job.
