Just like everyone else I have my fears and obstacles. I do what I can to get past them, but they are still there. I believe everyone has the ability to overcome fear as long as they put in the effort and face it. Nothing should be able to scare you enough to not pursue happiness in life.
I honestly fear change. I'm the kind of person that tends to find my comfort zone and stay there. But in life I want to be a touring musician so I have to get past my fear of change since I desire to travel and see new things. I think as long as I have good people by my side it will comfort me while traveling. I also fear failure. I know everyone does, but it is still a fear of mine. This connects a lot to the comfort zone thing, sometimes it prevents me from trying new things or sometimes doing things I know I'm good at in front of people, as I can get scared they won't think I'm good. It's something I can move past, I understand in life that in the wise words of Shia Labeouf sometimes you just gotta "DO IT"
I do have many irrational fears too. Like the dark. It sounds so dumb, but it is a fear of mine and I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping as a kid because of it. I also had a fear of ghosts and as a kid when it was dark in my room at night my young mind would imagine all sorts of things, I would have myself convinced I saw something or that I wasn't alone. I did get over that fear as I got older, but to do that I just had to face it, I would force myself to sleep in the dark until eventually I got more comfortable. I also one time went ghost hunting which helped me face my fear of ghosts.
Drew,
ReplyDeleteGood draft... seems a little rough and unfinished. What assets do you have to defeat these fears... besides the wise words of Shia Lebeouf?
What else can you practice to be more comfortable with touring, performing, preparing for change?
This is a good start, but it has no images and no poem for the week, so it seems incomplete.
