Why is The Unknown Path So Damned Scary?
Because it’s unknown — and thus, uncertain.
On the one hand, I’ve never been one for plans, lists, and the like. It’s always felt genuine and true to myself to be more improvisational in my approach to life.
On the other hand, I’m a Virgo. Sometimes I get utterly ordered and freakishly clean, arrange, and set stuff up.
When it comes to choosing and walking a given path in my life, this can be challenging. Loose and ready for anything that comes my way — but equally needing to find or create order.
One thing I’ve learned about conscious reality creation over the years is that you need to be specific. But not too specific. There must be a sweet spot between striving to manifest an exact, precise thing (material or immaterial) and something that might not be exact — but aligned with or better than said thing.
Thus, I’ve had to get familiar with the unknown.
But the unknown is rife with uncertainty. And uncertainty is about as far from comfortable and familiar as you can get.
That’s often been what’s stayed my hand, slowed, or stopped my progress. The terror of the uncertainty borne of the unknown.
