I have this mantra that I say to myself. I think it's from Tibetan monks, but I heard it on an NPR interview.
"May we be victorious over our fears.
May we be happy without hope.
May we be of benefit to all."
The fear here is my fear of doing the thing. The lack of hope is what I feel because I will not just fucking do the thing. The benefit to all is what happens when I actually do the thing.
I know it sounds super depressing, but it helps me... sometimes.
I actually kind of vibe with this. I don't think its depressing, sounds uplifting to me.
