Thich Nhat Hanh is one of my favorite author and I think we're somehow attached to our suffering, maybe something to do with our unconscious.

All people have a primal fear of the unknown, and change is all about diving headfirst into it, which is why it's so hard.

Lately I'v been actually trying to find my suffering and bring it up and out. I think this quote says about letting go of your inner suffering. I do it by writing. Also I see the suffering of not taking a chance, a risk of stepping out to meet someone or procrastinating work and then getting upset by it. I am huge procrastinator, and I am not proud of it.

I've definitely suffered from a fear of the unknown. Used to be too scared to go anywhere or do anything (by that I mean go somewhere interesting or do something interesting). For me it changed by deciding that I want to be better and I faced my fears and did my best to improve myself and my life.

Like a good friend of mine always tells me: "It's all in your head." That thing we fear is only REAL in our head, but not REAL in the outside world. Some have fear of flying. Some have fear of approaching people and talking to them. But it all comes down to the story you tell yourself in your head.

yo, bobby. not ALL people are fearful of the unknown. I disagree with you that ALL people have a primal fear of the unknown. I as well as others are "mavericks" in life and don't fear anything. Don't include me in your selfcentered point of view of fearing the unknown. David, I commend you for posting this quote and I am glad to tell you it does not pertain to me. Merry christmas

Farley Well said, it's all in our head. The more we believe in it, the more we will be drawn to that negative energy. What was one of your worst fear?

Jacob, One of my worst fears was the fear that I would die soon. It happend in 2005. It lasted like a day. It was a thought that turned into a belief in a couple of seconds. I started to feel all sorts of crazy stuff. I rushed to the doctor. He looked at me, did some tests and said I was okay. He told me it was all in my head :)

Coach J: I have the miracle of mindfulness. I actually never finished the whole book yet but so far I like what he has to share.

This reminds me of the book 7 spiritual laws of success by Deepak Chopra...I do door to door selling and I feel like when I suffer from rejection, in the end of the day I will always get one or two people to buy. I believe you have to go out there and take hits and suffer so you can grow. you can not be scared..This has made me grow a lot and made me a better man. thanks for the quote:) Happy holidays David.

to me it means that people will have a fear of something but they would rather keep living with that fear than do the thing that they fear. good quote dave
