Not at "any moment". Some energies take time to relocate from one's psyche.

Um...no?

Yeah but I'm sure those reactions get you jail time.

I thinks its more of relearning how to appreciate amd find joy again. For me it also helps to stay away from negative social media and surrounding myself with friends or people who vibe that way. Exercise helps.

There's a concept called Shōshin in Zen philosophy, seemingly related to this childlike joy and wonder; it talks of letting go of preconceptions and for people to become open and eager, as a beginner would be.

Becoming adults we tend to see things in a different light from children would; we would see things as how we think of them, with our past experiences, rather than for what they are.

So with shōshin, normal, usual, mundane things or events can even seem to be wonderful, new and interesting. It's not that difficult to change a little of one's mindset bit by bit, and things will start to change in a bigger scale.

unfortunately this one is not true

We need to have a bot on every post reminding people that no advice fits every situation.

I don't think OP is asking you to accept injustice or ignore radiation poisoning or whatever.

Maybe it's something to remind myself when I have trouble picking my battles, and I'm about to get worked up over something inconsequential. Or when I paint a hopeless picture for myself out of very little info, and I don't want to try anymore.

Its just a reminder that, for some of us, our judgment is doing more harm than good.

I agree with you. Some people have useful insight and tips, however, in the past, I was choked with obligational feelings once I got someone’s so-called ‘help’. I couldn’t say “It didn’t work”, especially to someone who really believed they were helpful.

But one day I found, I didn’t need to worry about offending someone even when something awkward happened because if the person really wanted to help me, the one didn’t get bothered even if I gave them honest feedback. When some people got angry and left me, I was sad, but I was lucky because I couldn’t live to please those people forever.

Anyway, I think it’s good to have a third person’s opinion when we want to achieve something as best as possible, for the point of view is usually limited.

You are very talented!

Absolutely stunning. You should be proud of yourself !

No shit

1. Can fear make you feel this way about your goals? Can it make you doubt this way in order to sabotage you and keep you in your comfort zone or something?

2. How do you deal with that?

3. Also, has it ever happened to you?

4. Yes but so can logic. Moving to the big city as an artist is one of the riskiest career decisions on Earth. You could focus on founding a film club and develop a portfolio of scenes for about $1,000 and then you can advance to the big city with tactical plans for success and a balance of j o b life with that of developing as an actor.

5. I chose to never leave my communications and collection of social media accounts. To never go out into the irl of daily life with dreams. I never talk to anyone about my ambitions.

6. I am catching a cold hard case of both fear and logic right now. The fear that I have already failed and the logic that posting nothing new is the best chance for victory.

this is so good 👏

This line from Maria Popova is engrained in my head now

“How awake are we, really, when we’ve stopped bowling over in awe at the everyday miracle of clouds? Or the unexpected glory of wildflowers on the city sidewalk?”

It's not about what gives me comfort, it's about reality. If it helps you sleep at night to believe your experience of life, emotional reactions etc. are a result of your conscious mind, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary, then who am I to tell you otherwise.
