So I boiled down this Linchpin excerpt into a simple mathematical representation:
Anxiety = Fear ^2
Anxiety takes hold when we fear (the act) fear (the state of being).
It's the unknown we fear. Those seemingly endless possibilities that haunt us. Apparitions of an uncertain future.
We want a map (as Seth put it). We want a free pass.
But once we accept responsibility for the fact that no one but us can knock us down, or build us up then we have the choice.
I choose up over down. After that the anxiety dissipates.
