I would be filled with joy, love, confidence. I’d appreciate and see with new eyes, the beauty of what’s around me. Instead of being wrapped up with my worries.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom so generously Tara, I really appreciate the tools you have shared with us. Befriending fear would release creativity and the courage to be adventurous and more at home in my own skin.
Without fear I would be free. Free to make better decisions, free from layered suffering, free from my habitual thinking monkey mind. I would be a step closer to my true nature.
I would be the true me where I have confidence, self worth and belief in my actions, without the crippling inherent belief that I am flawed and not worthy.
Without fear I would feel free and weightless, like nothing could stop me from achieving the things I would like to accomplish. There would be no more limits!
It would be as if I was a freshly cleaned window through which my light and potential could shine through and through which the light of life could shine into me.
Without fear I would be joyful and confident. I would get a lot accomplished, perhaps write a couple of books. Without fear (and with wisdom) I would be capable of connecting with a life partner and then nourishing and sustaining a healthy relationship.
Without fear I would be radiant, life flowing energy force. All my dreams would come true, cause I believe. There would be no fear for nothing, everything for the taking, everything which is for me, with me, <3 and no doubts if it's right or wrong or I deserve it, or if I'm scared. Everything would be!
Thanks so much for your great work and kindness Tara. Many Buddha blessings to you. Without fear? I hardly dare speculate! I think I’d finally be free, more open, nearer peace, more human. I’d be able to work with others far more effectively and meaningfully. I’d be freer of conditioned mind and therefore perhaps better equipped to fully approach presence and aliveness. Thanks for reading.
Someone who isn’t carrying the weight of my parents’ unhappiness and frustration with their own upbringings and experiences with THEIR parents. Someone who is working to address the cycle of generational grief and fear.
I would be a grown-up version of the 12 year old invincible tomboy that would not settle for someone else doing better, or being tougher. If there was something I really wanted to do well in and I didn’t do it’ll as well as I wanted, that just meant I needed to work harder. Strong of body, mind, and spirit; capable, confident, and accomplished. I would be exploring my potentials.

I don’t tend to live in a state of fear, but there are times I feel my worries and concerns heightened for situations that involve my children. Without carrying this fear or worry, I would have so much more freedom to encourage them in their new life endeavors as my children are all entering the adult world for the first time. I hesitate sometimes as they talk about internships and careers in other parts of the United States. Admittedly, this would be very exciting and beneficial to the success of their futures! But my mom heart and protective nature over them needs the freedom to allow them to fly!😃
I would have the courage to pursue more of my goals at work, in athletics, and in creative pursuits. I would connect more with others and voice my opinions more freely.
If I believed nothing was wrong with me, I would speak my mind more, reach out to old and new friends and invite them in, connect more deeply, be more vulnerable, have SO much more headspace for great thoughts, and feel free.
I would feel free, inspired and in my creative power. Actualizing a worthy contribution to the collective. My whole being would be supporting myself, more whole and less fragmented.
I am deeply grateful to you for addressing how to meet our fear in its varied guises.
Anxiety runs in my family to the point where we have always joked about it with each other. Part of me feels lost and alienated at the thought of being without it. When I do imagine it I see myself having more energy, feeling closer to people, contributing more of my ideas and talents to the world around me. It would be a new cycle where I reveal more of myself to people, and then have more support from them when I need it; instead of now where I hide to avoid being hurt, and then hurt more every time I feel unappreciated.
I would be a more outgoing person able to talk to people and make new friends (recently moved). I hope I would be able to feel that someone could love me. I know my daughters love but don’t feel it. Would love to feel it.
I would be free to find joy in my life
I would be more confident and peaceful with myself. Thank you very much 🙏
I would be fearless!
I would be present and enjoy the magic of life to the fullest.
I would have open eyes, an open heart, feel ligh, and go for it
I would be free…
We would be free
I would be filled with joy, love, confidence. I’d appreciate and see with new eyes, the beauty of what’s around me. Instead of being wrapped up with my worries.

I would laugh more.

Without fear, I’d be courageous and strong, creative and generous. I’d take more risks to express myself in creative ways and enjoy life more fully.
Thank you😊🙏 Important questions.
I will be powerful and one of the winners in life.
I would be free
I will be powerful and pets of the winners in life.

Hello,

I would not have to live with anxiety

I would be at peace with my self and would release the feelings of self doubt, and shame that I carry with me.
Having the tools to limit the influence of fear would be the single most valuable thing .
This makes so much sense and gives so much hope , thankyou .
Thank you Tara. The work you do is so life-affirming.
Answer to the question – I would be free to become my best self.
Real but not true. A very valuable to to use with self compassion. Thank you Tara.
I’d be gay

Q Who would I be if I didn’t believe something was wring with me?

I think I would be living without a job and doing seva
Alive, at peace, Open to many possibilities and Clearer as to Which undertaking I want to achieve first
I would be less reactive and judgmental, , less defensive and more bold to follow my heart and be gentle and assertive and compassionate.
Amazing, great tools I will put into use!
so many fears I dont know where to begin. i feel a strong tension in my neck and throat which is difficult to sit with.
playful, Joyful, engaging wth others, basketball calmly enjoy ting life!

I would have inner peace
I would tell others the truth more often and wouldn’t be defensive with those I love.
A more authentic person, who lives honestly with themselves and others, and so has a more fulfilling life in every capacity.
I would be more happily assertive which would probably make more friends.
I would have the courage to pursue more of my goals at work, in athletics, and in creative pursuits. I would connect more with others and voice my opinions more freely.

I’d be free and able to live life with ease, enjoyment & purpose but my grief plays a huge role in my insecurities!
Thank you Tara, amazing as always. Open,free,abundant and creative.
