Most people (myself included) engineer elaborate systems that prevent them from doing the very things that would give their lives meaning.
Think of your go-to time sucks: overwork, drama infused relationships, that television show you just can’t afford to miss. You choose all of that.
What do you think would happen if you let it all go?
I’ll tell you.
First you’ll be as terrified as you’ll ever be in this life. Then, if you outlast your terror, you’ll finally get to work.

I thought this was an appropriate and compelling excerpt from the song ‘Drive’ by Incubus which describes fear.
“Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can’t help but ask myself how much I’ll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It’s driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I am beginning to find
That I should be the one behind the wheel”

Nice! I know the song but hadn’t thought deeply about that lyric. Perfect!
