If I didn’t believe that there is something wrong with me I would be able to live the rest of my life with compassion and kindness with all my encounters.
I would be someone who would be able to speak my mind and be able to do more things that I would not consider to do before. I would be free to live my life as I envision it without fear holding me back.
I would be a much better communicator in both business and personal matters, and thus more able to meaningfully connect and experience joy in relationships.
Hi. This was so beautiful, so powerful. Something that I have been seeking to understand in workshops, therapy, books and anything else that seemed to cross my path. Thank you so much for this.
Without my fear, I would come out from hiding and would step confidently into the present exposing more of my true self. I’d have a greater sense of fulfillment
and the confidence I need to connect with other and to find the love I’m needing
to express, feel, give and receive.
Darleene Meyer, Another Field, Portland, OR, USAsays
I would have been less successful professionally if I hadn’t been driven in large part by fear. Personally, I would be more joyful, more at ease, and would have a much richer inner and outer life. And I wouldn’t still be sitting here wondering if I’ve got the nerve to click “submit”.
Without fear, I would jump off a cliff, run into traffic, and ignore all warnings. Fear is not “bad.” It’s a necessary, life-preserving emotion. So who would I be without fear? Probably dead.
Darlene Somerville, Another Field, Merrimack, NH, USAsays
I wouldn’t let my fear of having a cardiac event rule my thoughts all the time. (I had an atrial myxoma removed, open heart surgery) in 2019. I don’t have heart disease, it was a fluke). I always am fearful that I’m going to drop dead at any moment
To be bolder and feel free to speak my truths, and not feel so afraid of being rejected or feeling unlovable. I could live my life to the fullest of my abilities and share my gifts with the world.
I would believe I was enough, not striving for perfection. I would have more fun, listen more fully, practice getting to know my inner selves and give them compassion, therefore being less judgmental of my self and others. I would practice discovering my own needs and give them at least as much value as others’ needs. I would ask myself more is this what you want to do and then be less resentful. I would stop looking to others to tell me I am OK, I would know it in my heart. With all this I would take more risks, join more. Thank you Tara
…Someone reinvented at best, unstopable at no absurd boundarys, more aware of the current moment, someone who wouldn’t reflect anger or impatience, and overall, would be a more joyful person to myself and to others, without those inner fears…
Thanks for being! C.
Someone w/o anxiety everytime I engage, especially in my activism. I do it but am always fearful that I may not be liked. I’d be more confident and relaxed.
Maria Taylor, Other, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USAsays
More confident, speaking up more when I feel there’s something not right on how I was treated by my previous superiors or currently, from those who I think are “better than me.” Less anxious and less depressed about pursuing and making tough decisions in my own life.
Without fear I am living in the present moment and acting from my heart. I follow my intuition without overthinking or projecting. I am grateful for what is and am exciting to be aware of this gift of living.
I would be able to offer so much more in my career. I feel that what I have to offer is limited and that others possess more creativity and talent even though at times I see I might be performing just as well as they are.
