what is the greatest fear...... is it the fear of the death, of sickness of failure.....no its the fear of the unknown....
this fear of the unknown encompasses all other fears.......
today I'm engulfed with this fear... the fear of the unknown.... you look at my life from outside its a perfect life..... living alone in a flat with 2 roommates, comfortable and good paying job, loving and caring family, some nice friends....... what else does one need in life... yet there is no satisfaction, no peace no contentment.
all that is there is unrest, is fear, is despair....... unrest because life seems stale, nothing new, its set in a routine.... though i love routine.... i need variety.... i need control and i need chaos.... i need a psychiatrist...... :)
there resides in me the fear that i will leave this world without achieving anything significant.... i try.... i really try that everyday i must do something that touches at least one life.... alas easier said than done..... i guess what i crave for is recognition.... even if it is someone coming up to me and just saying u made my day/ week/ moth/ year/ life worthwhile...... that's it..... i guess.......
there is lots i want to say but i don't feel like writing today... because today I'm not writing for my self I'm writing for an audience and that never helps... its always brings fears of evaluation.... and i am never true to myself... always trying to please the unseen audience....
today AS came up and asked that why is it that am unable to control impulses and behave like I'm a superhero.... and i said that's coz u haven't yet crossed the threshold from childhood to adulthood completely...... i wonder if i have...... am i not yet a teenager???? always fearful, always ingratiating always conscious????
God i want to do soo many things.... i want to be a part of IAHP, become a trainer, learn play therapy, set up my training institute, get my M Phil, fall in love, get married, have kids...... help out underprivileged kids where ever i can and make good money also......
from where i stand today no one of the above seems like it is going to come true...... that is what scares me...... that is my fear of unknown.... if i know that i will achieve all this I'm willing to wait but its the not knowing that is killing me..... stopping me from taking that first step..... from plunging into the ocean.....
but as PI's FB status said" it wasn't raining when God asked Noah to build the Ark..... that's called faith....... I guess what i need/ want is someone to stand up and say "do it, i know u can, so please go ahead and do it" someone who can guarantee that i wont fail or even if i fail i wont be criticized..........
i know i should start taking responsibility for my actions and not wait for signs from above but but but i just lack the conviction, the fear of the consequence is too much... like whats happening with SK, if she had not begun to ignore me life would actually have been worse but i am killing myself over the fact that she doesn't care anymore when that actually a good thing as it means less useless work and more time for actual work.....
OHH MY GOD HELP ME HERE........ SHOW MW THE PATH..... GIVE ME THE STRENGTH..... LEAD THE WAY..... AND GIVE ME THE ABILITY AND CONVICTION TO FOLLOW!!!!!
