Fear is an Illusion

Fear is an illusion, a fancy trick crafted by the mind in an attempt to protect you from a failure that could never exist if you eliminate those fears and go forward.

Fear is an illusion, a psychological side effect of one's most basic and primal instinct for survival. It  is a means to an end, a metaphorical trigger to a very simple two part FIGHT or FLIGHT response system, and since we all know men do not fly, you are now left with but one option.

Fear is an illusion. It is not a sign of weakness. It is not a sign of cowardice. It is not a sign of anything. It is a nonexistent apparition in a realm of make-believe. It is a dream, non-contextual, without merit, and often forgotten before it can even be truly understood. Fear is not real, it is an impulse. It is the action taken afterwards that is real. The action or the inaction, the victory or the surrender, the awe inspiring, death defying, dream commanding, illusion shattering leap that follows, or the long silent walk home that is real.

But the Fear is just an illusion, a means to an end, a trick of the mind, an impulse, a dream. The Fear is not real. You are.

Back from The Land of No Return.

I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIVE!
And i'm a horrible blogger! Yes, I have been missing for forever and no I haven't did anything I said I would do up to this point. Thank you for reminding me.

But do you know what? I'm not going to make excuses, but I will apologize.

I'm sorry.

There. You happy? Well good. Now wipe that smug look off of your face and let's get back to work. We have a book to finish.

Chapter 23 is done, we're moving on to chapter 24!



Let's do it,

Ot Russiie s Lubvye

The blog has gotten 10 views from Russia, I don't know if that's some type of error but I'm excited anyway! A few years ago I tried to teach myself Russian. Primarily because speaking two languages is the equivalent to a super power in my opinion, and if you're gonna speak another language, it might as well be Russian.

As you may have guessed this post has absolutely nothing to do with me working on my novel. I just like Russia, for no other reason than it's just seems like a cool country, and since I may, or may not, have some Russian readers I figured I'd share.

Til next time,

Dosvadonya Muy Brat,

Lefty

P.S.
The blog title says "From Russia with Love", in Russian. (te-he-he)
