Jonathan: That is a pretty cool description you provided. You get to talk about it in hindsight, which is a nice feature. Crossing that bridge of fear of rejection looks like it would take a committed period like the one you described. I don’t think it just changes on its own. Thanks for the message on the right track.

Don’t allow fear to keep you from growing. I remember I used to have a intense fear of rejection. It was insane how shy and bashful I was. After a year of commitment and a bunch of failures. I smile at all and make friend were ever I go. Fear is just an illusion. I saw right passed it once i seen my potential. Its all in the mind.

Great post!

John: Hello to you as well. That’s a good distinction. Fear of being judged is like a useless abyss where good potential actions fall into. I hear your point about how it kept you from failing and learning for a long period. I’d say there are those few that realize that at some point, and then the majority who never reach that point of looking at their past with an understanding of what fear did. I’d say to take that positively, being in the first group. Being able to see that fear was a barrier in retrospect is much better than not seeing it at all. Certainly, without fear of judgment, I would release raps of that type. It is hard to say which type of fear it is though, as like in your example, fear of fire keeps us from getting burned, and so this one is more like that, as the consequence of being labeled with a stigma is more of a direct result than a potential worry. I have released many raps to a certain group I know online, but not publicly. One good thing is that we are only able to hold our inner self in for so long before it erupts. Your point about the special key seems to be right on the money. Thanks for your fitting discussion and viewpoints.

Good morning Armen. I’d like to make a short comment about fear. Lots of fears are good for us. Fear of fire keeps me from getting burned for instance. Fear of pain stops me from leaping off a cliff and trying to fly….straight down to an untimely death. But there’s one fear that is extremely bad. Fear of being judged. Personally speaking, this fear kept me from trying and failing and learning and succeeding for decades. Now I’d like to turn to your fear of teaching personal development via rapping. Let’s suppose every single fear of judgment had been banished from your life. Do you think you’d try teaching by rapping? Maybe yes. Maybe no. With that fear taken away, you’d know be sure what your true passion was. If your reason for being was rapping….off you’d go in that direction. If not…..you’d grow yourself in another direction. And the moral of my story? Fear of being judged is like a special key that unlocks our potentials. Take it away and we gain the courage of our convictions. Best Wishes. John Duffield
