Fear. I made this blog one day and it has sat and sat, untouched as a 'draft'.
I've started a few times, so it hasn't really sat untouched. Rarely touched. I guess it's a topic that should be talked about but I just never did. Ironic.
Moving along. A friend referenced my wild tangents in blogging the other day, I'll try to stay on track. So,
Fear - be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event.
Key words? Possible and Probable. When you think of fear, you think of a moment when you have been scared. Think, well a bad outcome is only probable or possible, not definite.
Fear really coincides with chance. You might not take a chance because you fear the outcomes. OR "feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event", to be dictionarilly correct. But really, how silly is that? You're going to throw away a chance, a possible once in a lifetime chance because you're scared?
You.
Are.
Pathetic.
But then again, I suppose you're human. You're off the hook. Everyone is scared of something, however small. Things people are scared of starting with the letter I...
- Igloo
- Ice skating
- Immigrants
- Incense
- Infants
- Insignificance
People talk about fear as sometimes being a irrational fear. If there can be irrational fears, how can their be rational fears? What kind of a fear is rational, really? Admittedly, fears are fears because of their outcomes. You get bitten by a spider, yes, bad things happens. You fall down a cliff, even worse things happen.
Back it up? Famous quote:
A life lived in fear, isn't really a life worth living.
If you go day in, day out scared, worried, in fear of possible outcomes; not even certain fates. How do you get by each day? Shitting bricks every moment, that's how.
You are an amazing person, people love you.
You live an amazing life everyday.
You are gifted in more ways than you know.
What's there to be afraid of? Use what you've been given, live every moment. Do. Not. Be. Scared. In fear, where can you go? Nowhere. The key to change... is to let go of fear.
If we don't change, we don't grow and if we don't grow well... we aren't really living. Fear, should not exist in your life. Fear should not control your life. Fear is a pathetic thing, a useless emotion. Discard it. I don't know what you believe happens after death, but right now you can be sure you've got this life for sure. USE IT. You've been given so many great things, opportunities and so many amazing people, you have no reason or excuse to be scared of anything whatsoever.
If you've read this blog and taken nothing from it, which I reeeeaaally hope you have. Then take this, remember this, write it down somewhere if you so wish and live by it.
Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever in a hundred million years.
So, recap. What is fear again?
Fear is,
A useless emotion,
A pathetic excuse,
A waste of time,
And fear is,
Non-Existent.

Mistake.
Find me one person who hasn't and doesn't make mistakes and I'll show you ultimate perfection.
Everyone, in the world, EVERYONE makes mistakes. I really can't re-iterate that enough.
If you made the mistake, or someone else made the mistake.
REMEMBER, at the end of the day we're all human and we all make mistakes. All of us make mistakes. All of us. Everyone. Even those you might deem as 'perfect', yeh they make mistakes too.
Mistake - A wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention.
A wrong action, pretty simple definition. Caused by your bad judgment, ignorance or inattention.
Your bad judgment, contributes to a lot of things usually mistakes. Bad judgment is a weird thing though. Your judgment can be affected by a fair few factors.
1. Emotions.
2. Drowsiness.
3. Alcohol.
Emotions, radical emotions are a bitch. They affect everything in your life for a short period. Your mood controls your day, your year, your life. Drowsiness, being tired changes your judgment and your motor skills strangely enough. Then there's alcohol, which takes the last 2 and totally and absolutely destroys them and makes a whole new version of bad judgment. I'm not saying don't drink. Go for it, you only live once. But remember how much it can affect your judgment and learn from your past mistakes. Learn from other peoples mistakes too, you don't have time to make them all yourself.
Then again you've got to look at the other side of things, a lot of the time someone is hurt or offended because of your mistake. If you're the one hurt, you need to remember as well that people make mistakes and think about how much you would want someone to forgive you if the situation were in opposite. You make mistakes, so do they, be forgiving.
If you are forgiven, don't beat yourself up about it. What good does it do? Shit all. If you are forgiven be happy, tread lightly, but don't punish yourself. It doesn't help, it makes stuff harder really. You need to forgive yourself.
So really a mistake is a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention. But because that's so freaking confusing.
Mistake - A wrong action caused by bad judgment usually affected by outside factors.

Stone.
As they say, "Nothing is set in stone"
But still there are some things that you really can't just drop and run away from. If 'nothing' was set in stone you could drop your entire life and everything in it and run away. Unfortunately as much as that seems like it would be an excellent solution to a lot of problems, it is impossible.
Imagine having the power to disappear completely. Never turn up to school, never show up to work, never come home, abandon your partner, desert your friends, disappear. That sounds terrible, but we've all thought about it. When stuff gets hard and things suck and people are shit you just want all your problems to disappear and you know that they won't so you think about disappearing yourself. You know you've done it, at least once.
Could you really do it though? Could you? Abandon everything your life and leave?
Tomorrow morning you wake up, go to the bank, take all the money you have, pack your bags of clothes, jump on a plane and leave. No notice, don't tell anyone, just.. leave. Leave forever? or come back? What would you tell people if you disappeared for 5 years and then just turned up out of the blue one day. What would you tell them?
"Well you know things were shit, so I left."
And really, would it be such a bad thing? Start a whole new life again. I'm sure everyone could imagine ditching their jobs quite easily but could you abandon your family and friends?
This blog is just a massive wild tangent really.
Stone. Back to things being set in stone. The saying is true, things aren't set in stone. You have the power to alter your own your own life and choose whichever path you want. Your life is in your hands really. Your choices pave the path that is 'your' life. Things are not set in stone however this does not mean you can ignore them, abandon them, destroy them.
Friendships are not set in stone, doesn't mean you can ignore them? Regardless we still do.
Relationships are not set in stone, doesn't mean you can abandon them? Regardless we still do.
Nothing is set in stone, but in the end it doesn't mean you can treat it like shit and abuse that statement.
So really, nothing is set in stone. Let's leave it at that. Nothing is set in stone, especially not your destiny. Your life is what you make of it, every decision, every chance, every risk, everything.
You, control your life.
