Distraction, is avoidance. The Conscious self, is a participatory one. Is your life a distraction, keeping you from fulfilling a call? Or is it a conscious expression, moving with purpose in all of its motion? Do you keep your inner strength hidden, by avoiding challenges that could help you grow? Or do you move through fear, reaching out for new levels of understanding?
Not it, to go through life avoiding that which seems fearful. I feel this way because it’s my personal experience to avoid challenges where I know I might fail, consequently I remain stale, or sink further into my life of avoidance. So what, if you get rejected! So what, if people judge you. Big deal, if you lose a buck. What is it you are so desperately trying to protect anyway? You? Your Identity? You mean the beliefs you have about who you are? Why such a limited frame of reference? You are here to learn, not to avoid life to avert the ruffling of your own feathers. Don’t let your life, be a distraction from discovering the courage you know you are.

Nice!!!!
There really is no need to have the fear that is involved in protecting what others think of you. Your Neo Samurai used to do what was called a daily “Uncomfortable”, this involved saying something I normally wouldnt, going to a meditation class at this church, going to a yoga class, getting a pedicure, breakdancing for a youtube video, etc, etc. The thing is the more I did these things that were supposed to make me “Uncomfortable” the easier it got. Life is to be lived, experienced, enjoyed, this might be harder if you are just watching from sidelines wondering what it would be like instead of diving in. People already judge you, people already have ann opinion of you, it really does not matter. What someone thinks of you is none of your business. So get on with it, what would you do if you were not afraid?
I love it! That is a wonderful idea, getting out of your comfort zone and doing new things, things you wouldn’t even normally do.
