Trapped

Trapped.  The cold steel of worry, fear, and procrastination firmly wrapped around your leg.  It happens to all of us at different times.  To some of us it happens all the time.  Sometimes I worry about my fear of putting things off.  Maybe I should just relax and go with the flow?  Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you were not afraid of things?  I do.  It really does suck to be paralyzed with fear about something that most of the time doesn't exist.  What about worrying about things that almost always don't exist.  By that I mean they have already happened and you are worrying about what you "think" someone thought about it, or you are making up some scene in your head that does not exist and you are worrying about that.  Live in the moment?  Hum.  Could work.  My favorite way to get trapped is to not do something I absolutely know will make a difference in my life.  Maybe it's a phone call, or getting some exercise, perhaps it's just taking one step toward living a dream.  Again, it's almost always a small step yet we want to put things off until tomorrow.

"We spend the best part of our lives earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it"  Thoreau.

"We'd love to drop all and explore the world outside, we tell ourselves, bu thte time neer seems right.  Thus, given an unlimited amount of choices, we make none.  Settling into our lives, we get so obsessed with holding on to our domestic certainties that we forget why we desired them in the first place", Rolf Potts.

So.........now what?
