Slaying The Fear

Life is one hell of a scary prospect, and then you grow up and realize it's even more of an evil beast than you've ever imagined in your worst nightmares. There are those few who walk among us with peaceful, zen-like smiles of contentment on their faces, but overall, we all live with some sort of crippling fear that affects our daily existence. Don't make enough money? Well, you're most likely worried sick about how to put food on the table for you and/or your family. Wiping your arse with cash? Congratulations! You're most likely consumed by stress from that "lucky" promotion you nabbed, and all the responsibilities that came along with it. So the eternal question is: what makes a person happy and content on a full-time basis?

This is where a normal writer would begin to examine the question posed in the last sentence of the last paragraph, but I'm far from normal, and I'm not even a 'real' writer. The only purpose of this otherwise useless post is to stimulate thought in my stagnating brain and soul, and hopefully generate some energy that will manifest forward progress. To be even more clear, my ultimate goal is to figure out how to live life without being beset by fear on an at least once-per-day basis. Quite simply, fear sucks. Why not see what I can do about getting it the f%*k out of my life?

For now...
