Thank you Scott, this message came at exactly the right time for me. Lovely to write a letter to my fear and see what it is doing in my life. Today I am landing my new Substack and I am a little scared of what people are going to say (or not say at all), so my fear shows up as being tired and unmotivated and I feel I want to postpone. But your Substack has been an inspiration for me in the past weeks and after this message and exercise I feel ready to step into the unknown.

How did that land with you?

For me, Truth often lands with the sensation of being punched in the stomach.

Fear wrote me that it is a)mostly unnecessary, and b) something I use to change the way I feel about myself, about life. It keeps me small; insignificant. It's a choice.

I wasn't expecting these insights.

So, yeah...it landed like a punch in the gut.

I can relate to a punch in the gut. New insights can have that effect. At least the punch subsides even as the insights remain. Lots of love, Mike.

This is Beautiful. I have so much fear about what people are going to hurt me next. I fear meeting my earthmate, and him despising me. However what is not meant for me will pass. That helps me. I do not like mean people, and get scared of being hurt all the time. I relate to a lot of what you said, and your insights helped me so much!
