Frightened of our own shadow

The most amazing thing about life is the mystery, the adventure, the leap into the unknown, what’s around the next corner, the freedom of exploring, the joy of the magical tense moment of not knowing what’s next…uncertainty, imperfection and the unknown bring the most amazing parts of life, bring exhilaration and the sense of really being alive now in this real moment.

Yet we have created culture that demands no risk, no uncertainty, safety, and certainty. It keeps us trapped in our fear-filled thoughts of impending doom and risk.

Is it any wonder that we are the most depressed, addicted and medicated humans to ever walk the planet.

The never ending search for zero risk and complete certainty is thrust upon us by the psychological fear of everything and anything, even our own shadow.

Living is a risk

The best thing about not knowing if it will work or not is that, the uncertainty of any outcome make the risk of doing it exciting.

The mind wants certainties, it doesn’t want our ego at risk. It wants it to work or it will sabotage.

The whole point of being is to have experience and experiences will only come through risking failure, we learn from that and the challenges of risk.

Comfort is the same as dying only we have to suffer a long drawn out lifetime of pain of not taking the risk.

Living is a risk.
