  • Fear of losing what I don't even have

    I always forget how fortunate I am.  I don't take enough time to write (to BE ME), but I could!.  Fear of a financial downturn drives me harder.  Soon nothing is enough, and I no longer think I have the luxuries I do.  And then I don't appreciate what I’ve got because I don’t use it. 

     

    Of course there could be a downturn.  But what is the point of being fortunate, if you don’t use it to your advantage.  If hard times befall me, I want to be able to say, “once I had it good, and I made the best of it.” (and if I get there again, I know I will do it once more).

     

    So the lesson is - trust yourself to handle things if they were to get worse, so that you can give up your fear, and take the risk that is required to live the life you really can have.
