Day 52

Ladies and gents, you are fed a lie your whole life. There are no fears to overcome. There is nothing to be fearful of. Literally. Sure, you still wouldn't put your hand in a fire, but that's plain logic.

At the end of the run, I dreamt of being fearless, obviously. Well, I am far away from the end of the run, but here is what I realized today - there are no fears to overcome, there are no mountains to climb. And that's a huge weight off my shoulders. Because this means I do not have to build or force myself to do anything to "overcome" a fear. I do not need to make any effort. It's effortless. A fear is a fear only if you label it as fear, it is important only to the degree you give it importance.

There are just three simple steps to "overcome fear". Remove the label. Embrace it. Let it go. That's all.

I was always anxious about attending calls and doorbells. Not anymore. I was amazed how simple it was, I observed and embraced the feeling, let it go, and the fear is gone... in seconds.

I am running the sub so it is easier said than done, but it is what it is. It is so goddamn simple. We complicate it ourselves.
