What frightens you the most? If you look at your life from an objective viewpoint - can you see how much of your life is organized around avoiding or neutralizing or overcoming or that scary thing? How much of what you do is done BECAUSE of what frightens you rather than INSTEAD of it.
Hi there!
This is no longer an active blog. Sorry about that! I've moved my most intriguing questions and answers to my personal blog, shirleytwofeathers. There are some good links here, so feel free to explore, have a great day!

I asked Michelle what she thought I was most afraid of, and she immediately said "failure" and "hell". And I said no... not hell... but yes to being afraid of failure... but that this wasn't the scariest thing. Underneath that fear of failure is the terror of losing everything. I am so afraid that I will lose my dog, my health, Sydney, my mind, my home... I somehow have this gut feeling which might or might not be "truth" that in order to really live a "spiritual" life... to really be "close" to God, in order to "get real", or become "enlightened", to achieve any one of or all of those things - I will have to lose it all. And that scares the hell out of me.
So I work really really hard trying to "do" everything I think I need to "do" in order to "be safe" and at the same time honor my driving need to create, to be my wild child, and at the same time make "nice" with God so he will make "nice" with me...
I think I might be creating a monster! LOL!
Very interesting to explore my motivations and fears. This post is just the tip of the iceburg... by the end of the day I might even have something profound and short to say about it... but I'll spare you.
