Fear = Anticipation of Pain

July 29th, 2008 at 10:19 am (Run) · Digg! this story! Digg! this story.

And…the anticipation is ALWAYS worse than the real thing. I was sweating bullets about the epidural shot I was to have into my spine. Sounds brutal, doesn’t it?! Well, I was sweating for NOTHING… It was CAKE. Easy. I laughed out loud when they were finished. “Seriously, that’s IT?”

It could be a metaphor for life……..what else am I squeegie about that is keeping me from being in the moment? What else am I wasting energy and time on being afraid of? Hmm…………
