The funniest thing about the topic of fear? And just to level set, do you recall the last time you felt you learned something new about fear?

Is it even on the radar?

And when you learned more about fear what happened to you?

So after speaking with my book production representative (for the first time) yesterday it happened. A realization about the overwhelming fear I have been carrying for so long.

Publishing a book is not that difficult.

But for years and years it seemed impossible.

Hoping you find a nugget in this post. I see it. Can you?

What is freedom?

A long-time friend (30 years) facilitated an answer from me in a brief conversation at the gym last night.

We can not have fear and be free

Freedom is the absence of fear.

Fear is worrying about losing an attachment to things.

Fear is worry. Attachment.

Freedom is not being attached to things.

Freedom is living in the moment – Zen like.

It was a brilliant bfo (blinding flash of the obvious) that will simmer a while longer.

Fear prompted this epic writing journey (8.5k posts so far), and letting go of fear prompted this post revelation.

Perhaps our freedom isn’t as far away as first thought.

If we lived life unafraid of death, what would change?

Why be nervous this morning as we head to Health Central and Dr Jorge Florin’s surgical team?

Guessing it’s something hard to articulate. And very unlikely to happen. The worse case scenario.

It happens. Rarely. But it does.

The fear that people – anywhere, at anytime – let their guard down and aren’t at their very best.

Otherwise, it should be an amazing experience.
