Kooks & Wisdom

I wrote something about “fear of success” and posted a link to lazaris.com.

Specifically, the link was to: http://www.lazaris.com/publibrary/pubfear.cfm

Thanks to the power of search engines, when I did a search for “fear of success” it pointed me directly to the above page. I jive with what this page says and I never would have found it on my own - especially if I’d “walked” in through the front door of the website. Why? The site appears to be written by alien abductees and 1970’s ex-hippies on permanent flashbacks. But if you can get beyond all that - and it really helps to read the article before knowing anything about the website (trust me) - there’s some very good information there.

So I want to pass along the following lesson.

Don’t just close your mind and keep walking - sometimes even kooks have something valuable to say.

ps - I didn’t mean *me* when I said kooks. You know, I *can* hear you snickering out there!

one silly step at a time

I write a lot about silly things.

It’s easy to write about silly things.

No body likes to fail. But failure is only temporary as long as we take another stab at what we’re doing. — http://www.howtoadvice.com/ConquerFear#

Perhaps I even like to write about silly things.

Fear is not subject to reason, but it is subject to action. When your thoughts will not rid you of an undesirable emotion, action will. I found out I could talk to myself till I was wacky, and could not talk away the fear. It just doesn’t work like that. I learned that fear was not conducive to giving my best performance. — http://www.howtoadvice.com/ConquerFear#

It’s a step ahead of not writing about anything at all.
