Rick Rubin says: flip to a random page in a book, read a sentence, and let that sentence inspire you.
This morning I opened up a page from Bruce Lee’s “Striking Thoughts” and it said: "Shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others".
We're all evaluating our statuses in the groups we move around in (Hello Linkedin). Whenever we feel shame it's because we're afraid that those people might see us as inferior.
This reminded me of the shame I felt during my childhood and until more recently, my bi-sexuality. When I opened up about that, it unleashed a lot of positive energy.
Whenever we're afraid of something, it can absorb our life energy. Yet, if we go to where our fear is, we see there’s nothing to fear about it.
Alan Watts says something similar "I am chained to the fear only so long as I am trying to get away from it”.
What are you afraid of? Look into it and start seeing.
Thanks to the biohacker who encouraged me to publish some of my personal writing :)
