We've gotten it all wrong, people. There's good fear and bad fear. Good doubt and bad doubt. How does one differentiate, separate, and investigate? Easy. Write a book on the subject.
"But Jared, you're not an expert on the subject of fear and doubt. They won't buy the book." (Fear)
"But Jared, what if no one buys enough copies? What then?" (Doubt)
Boy oh boy... the things we tell ourselves. The things those closest to us tell us, too. And let's not forget the strangers who barely know us at all. Finally, how about the experts in publishing: the best selling authors, the publishing execs., and the research? What if they all say, "Keep your day job, Jared," but my day job is based on one inconsistent thing?
Creativity.
The book will indeed be about our relationships with fear and doubt, how we allow it in our lives and how we take advantage of it. It'll be about a fun look at frightening and sometimes very scary subject.
To satisfy everyone's preferences, I could design a book and its accompanying concept for each person: a customized book. I could even include their name and personal stories. Now sure, the book would cost about $1000 each. They sure would enjoy it, though. And it would last them a lifetime. And they could even pass it on within their family.
This isn't sarcasm by the way, it's just a potential creative idea. That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me... write.
