😱 TREE 700: Fear is collapsible

TREEpeat 288

Here are some words about the fear that gets in the way of doing.

Fear is not like doing the work.
Doing the work requires definite actions.
Write the article. Knit the jumper.
Create the spreadsheet. Carve the wood.
Fear is infinite, full of terrible possibility.

What if? What if?! What if?!?!

Act! And fear collapses. Immediately
millions of terrible things do not happen.
Now fear is operating in restricted space.
Take the next step. Fear deflates more.
Everything you do to realise your idea
converts terrible possibilities
into definite realities – pleasant
or otherwise – that you can
deal with.
