📌本集內容
Managing Short-Term Fears(p.57)
“Detaching from your fears allows you to address them.”
“Jobs are security, and we are all naturally attached to the idea of putting food on the table.”
“Right away, my friend went into panic mode.”
“Where are we going to get money? I’m never going to get hired again.”
“Not only did he make grim predictions about the future, he started questioning the past.”
“I should have been better at my work. I should have worked harder and longer hours!”
“When you panic, you start to anticipate outcomes that have not yet come to pass.”
“Fear makes us fiction writers.”
“We start with a premise, an idea, a fear - what will happen if…”
“When we anticipate future outcomes, fear holds us back, imprisoning us in our imaginations.”
“Our fears are more numerous than our dangers, and we suffer more in our imagination than reality.”
P.58 寓言故事(parable)
“There’s an old Taoist parable about a farmer whose horse ran away.”
“How unlucky!”his brother tells him.
“The farmer shrugs.”
“Good thing, bad thing, who knows,” he says.
“A week later, the wayward horse finds its way home, and with it is a beautiful wild mare.”
“That’s amazing!”
“The farmer is unmoved.”
“Good thing, bad thing, who knows,”
“A few days later, the farmer’s son climbs up on the mare, hoping to tame the wild beast, but the horse bucks and rears, and the boy, hurled to the ground, breaks a leg.”
“How unlucky!”
“Good thing, bad thing, who knows,”
“The next day, the young men of the village are called into military service, but because the son’s leg is broken, he is excused from the draft.”
“His brother tells the farmer that this, surely, is the best news of all.”
“Good thing, bad thing, who knows,”
The farmer in this story didn’t get lost in “WHAT IF” but instead focused on “WHAT IS”.
“DON’T JUDGE THE MOMENT.”
“It’s hard to not judge the moment, and remain open to opportunity when the unknown future spins like a whirlwind through your body and brain.”
“Sometimes our panic or freeze responses rush ahead of us and make it difficult to suspend judgement.”
“Fear motivates us. Sometimes it motivates us toward what we want, but sometimes, if we aren’t careful, it limits us with what we think will keep us safe.”
