The first point, I can control. The second, not so much. Sometimes, not at all. But in the last phase of my business life, I was an in-home salesman of plumbing services - who would have thought? As a salesman, if you stand outside the house, staring at a closed door in fear, afraid to knock, then you'll never sell anything. So, I learned to accept the fear and knock anyway. And lo and behold, I became good at it because my intention wasn't "to sell" but to help in some way. I use that now in my writing. It's help.
A trusty flashlight is invaluable. :)
As a writer, I find myself focused on two things:
Writing
Then asking the Universe, what do you think?

That's a great way to look at life - feel the fear, but do it anyway. Tony Robbins says something like: If I feel I CAN'T do it, I know I MUST do it.
Although I sometimes forget to ask the Universe. That's an important step
I love the metaphorical trip through your life. Keep on truckin’.
Thanks 💕 it's been a great ride
