We can live life safely, avoid any chance of criticism from others, and hide away in dark solitude. Opportunities for self-expansion and personal and professional success are profoundly limited here.
Alternatively, If I’m to experience a life of depth, and opportunity — to traverse bravely along the spectrum of full personal potential, I can take a breath, wince briefly in the face of uncertainty, step up, suck in the shit of fear and have the courage to be disliked, judged, rejected, and even laughed at publicly.
That’s the choice we all have. We all have insecurities. We all have wounds and weak spots. Things we cannot bear to reveal and be ‘found out’ for.
But if we want to experience a life — not only of tremendous growth, friendships and wealth — but one free of regret, we need to do what all the greats have done: to step into the void.
