In reply to Author Kristen Lamb. So true about the learning and growing part, if you can get that from writing it's never pointless! :)

In reply to Buckeye Brit. My first recommendation is to redefine what you are doing. If it offers nothing other than money, likely not worth pursuing. Barring that? Nothing is ever pointless. We learn, grow, maybe move on, but it's at the very least a training ground. Best of luck ((HUGS))

Great article, thanks. I found it via Jodie Davis “The Wisdom of Fear: Lessons from my Horses.” I’ve conquered my riding fear–almost–but the writing fear is an even bigger city of walls. I fear I’m selfish and lazy by even trying to pursue this possibly pointless endeavor, terrified of failure and also of exposure. I wonder if that was your father’s problem–fear of success, of actually having to get out there and defend his work.

Just recently, I was diagnosed with anxiety. This post has made me think more about being proactive vs reactive. Thank you. I need to see the way I’m looking at life differently and this has given me another outlook.

This is very insightful and helpful. I have a tendency to want to please people too, and while there’s nothing wrong with that per se, as you pointed out taken to the extreme it’s not healthy. That’s the case with anything really. I am in the process of finding balance. 🙂

[…] but don’t let it get me down. I keep going. Then I make more steps forward than I did back. As Kristen Lamb wrote in a fabulous blog post, “Unexamined fear can be the hamster wheel of doom.” I’m not trying to conquer it; rather […]
