Chip Browne,
Fear of Public Humiliation is one of the most crippling Irrational Fears you can harbor.
It holds you back from being your Authentic, Powerful self...
Makes you shrink and try to hide, no matter where you are...
Barricading yourself behind the screen of your phone and headphones...
I used to be afraid of Humiliation.
Terrified of putting myself in a situation where I might fail and be judged by people...
The thing is, by avoiding situations where I had to go out on a limb, I limited my own ability to impress MYSELF.
To experience something out of the ordinary, and really taste the spice of life.
It was about 20 years ago that I had one simple realization that changed all that...
Nobody Really Cares.
Everyone is too busy judging themselves to judge you.
We're all caught up in our own struggles with Irrational Fear...
And those who have overcome it have left Judgment behind, and replaced it with Empathy and Compassion.
So go out on a limb.
Worst case scenario: you fail, just like you think you're afraid of...
But I guarantee it won't be all as bad as you've been worrying about.
Best case scenario: You Succeed.
You Surprise Yourself, and feel the immense pleasure of accomplishing something you've always been too scared to even attempt.
And THAT sensation, my friend, is like a drug.
Feel it once, and pretty soon you'll be addicted to overcoming your fears.
Just imagine what happens next :-)
Peace & Power
