Here is an inspiring talk by Merlin Mann about being scared shitless.
In my life and especially recently I have been scared shitless:
- that I wouldn’t find love.
- of childbirth
- of raising my kids right
- of something happening to my kids and loved ones
- of not doing enough in this life
- when I moved to Paris when I was only 19
- of other people’s opinion
- of presenting my idea to a management committee
- of my parents getting older
- of running out of money
- of all sorts of natural catastrophes happening in this world
- of being a little claustrophobic
- of being the only person left in the Universe (I was 10 I think, and couldn’t even get my brain around the thought, but it was scary!)
- of getting my ideas and projects out there
- dying in a planecrash
Fear is one of the biggest blocks in creativity. When we are scared we are usually not very motivated or productive. We procrastinate a lot.
The trick is to keep moving, to create anyway, to Just Do It.
So I thought I’d put the question out to you so that you could make me feel a little better 
WHAT ARE (were) YOU SCARED SHITLESS OF?
