Hello again, and today is Saturday, November 17, 2012. Not to sound redundant through the title, but fear is inevitable. Fear is always present, especially when making things. When I say making things, know that I mean making ideas, physical creations, or really anything that wasn't there before. The thing about this fear is that you never grow out of it, you only learn to live with it. If you try all of your life to not experience that fear, you would live a boring life without ideas or anything except for what was already there; no progress whatsoever. To try to outrun the fear is also hopeless. We must learn to live with it as a rose farmer learns to live with the pricks of his roses' thorns in order to collect their beauty. Just remember whenever you're scared to make something, everyone else that has made something has experianced that same fear. To calm myself down I like to think of how scared the first caveman to leave the caves must have felt. Then I feel reassured, that if that first caveman could leave his and his ancestor's and his ancestor's ancestor's home, that I can do whatever I need to do. I hope that helps for when you get that fear too.
As always,
ZenMercury,
Keep calm, and we are all afraid.
