Face your mortality, and you've conquered most things

Artloader, you too, I appreciate it man

All fear stems from the fear of death....pretty broad statement, but test it for yourself

08 Jul 00:26

Artloader

I guess we're all afraid of something at some time in our lives - the trick is to develop the tools to handle it.

08 Jul 00:26

John

And Loader's mean a tad less!

08 Jul 00:26

Amit Dutta

You are alone :) the trick is to be ok with it. But yeah we're here man

08 Jul 00:25

DQ_Nick

Amit and John, your words mean a lot

08 Jul 00:25

DQ_Nick

I feel better knowing I'm not alone

08 Jul 00:23

DQ_Nick

08 Jul 00:23

Amit Dutta

It's a good litany

Artloader

"Fear is the mind killer"

08 Jul 00:22

Amit Dutta

:) we let fear hold us back, is what I'm alluding to

08 Jul 00:21

John

Oh Amit. You old romantic...

08 Jul 00:21

Artloader

Sounds poetic now ...

08 Jul 00:21

Amit Dutta

Everyone is a symphony unplayed

08 Jul 00:20

John

Ah! The three of us can start a trio!

08 Jul 00:20

Artloader

Harmonizing? You guys singing to us??

08 Jul 00:19

Artloader

Also I find trying to enjoy the journey as well as looking forward to the destination can help.

08 Jul 00:19

Amit Dutta

Do shit because you want to do it

08 Jul 00:19

Amit Dutta

Just forget your petty little ambitions, they mean nothing

08 Jul 00:19

John

(Me and Amit are harmonizing!)

08 Jul 00:18

John

But that's what happens when you're trying to get something out of what you're trying to do.. Not just art, but in general.

08 Jul 00:18

Amit Dutta

Everything else is bullshit compared to existential fear. And it's so dumb. We could have been taught to deal with it as kids, but our education system and cultures are too stupid

08 Jul 00:17

John

@Nick: I kinda understand what you're going through.. That nagging feeling of self-doubt that "I can't make it".. Honestly, to this day that thought still pop in and out of my head!

08 Jul 00:16

Amit Dutta

Best thing to realise if you feel fear of failure. Deeply realise you could be dead tomorrow, and all achievement means nothing. So live damn you, live.

08 Jul 00:12

@DQ_Nick: If you make it to the end - you've passed the first test man!
