This is a really hard question, because all the easy quick answers that pop up are not really true, and I know this, because they don't scare me at all to think of them...
So, I'm going to sit on this question today, and see if I can come up with the "real" answer.
Ok.. I want a million dollars, but the thought of it frightens me because I'm not sure that I can "handle" it, I mean, what if I screw up? what if I'm undeserving? so that was interesting to find out... because so what if I screw up.. for crying out loud - I'll have enough money to fix all my screw ups!! Geeezz...
And I want inner peace but I'm afraid to really go find it because I'm afraid of the other stuff thats "inner" and what if I can only have inner peace by giving up everything I love? and that's just stupid!
And I really want to sell my art, and that is scary to me - terrifying actually - because what if somebody buys something and then they don't like it? what if the art isn't any good? what if I'm fooling myself that it's even saleable? What if I don't ship it properly? The list goes on and on...
And that about sums up what I came up with on this question.
The first few words of your first paragraph mirror my thinking - I want a million dollars, too, but am terrified to receive it! Same reason- afraid I won't know how to handle it! But like you said, who cares! Let's see what it's like!!
I want my million dollars, but there are certain ways I DON'T want it to come. I actually don't want to win the lottery, because of all the instant fame that comes with it and the inherent dangers. The lottery office is required by law to release your identity to the press. So I would have to hold onto my winning lottery ticket until I went to a lawyer's office and had him set up a family trust, and then he would go turn in the winning ticket for me in the name of the trust, and that would protect my identity to a certain extent, but I'm sure with some digging someone could find out who was included in the trust (is that covered under the Freedom of Information Act?)...all of that seems like a lot of work for someone who just wants her money, and I don't want every scam artist in the world coming out of the woodwork either. I want my million to come in a manner where I can remain anonymous to the world at large, and just quietly go about making the world a better place without anyone but my close loved ones knowing the truth.
