I used the metaphor of going to the dentist a few entries back to illustrate the process of conquering some of my identified fears. I've mentioned before that one fear is about not being able to make a difference. That makes me hesitant to post, as I cope with the fear that being transparent with my struggles will only result only in futility, or worse, ridicule.
I get that most of us live on cruise control, especially with how busy our schedules get; we really don't give much thought to why we do what we do. Many, especially if they enjoy a certain level of affluence, will be less inclined to rock the boat. Still, I suspect that most of us deep down will concede that we do things we would rather not do, yet we don't do anything to change that.
It's like being a person, after being told by a dentist that some unpleasant procedure needs to be done, saying "I would have been fine if I'd never come to see you"; no, the problem would have still existed. Moreover, the specific condition could have gotten worse.
Many of us would be so much better off if we dealt with some of the things in our past that hold us back.
