Something just dawned on me

[ali.lari2x]

I was looking at some older posts in the forum and I came across a post about action faking from 2018.



Took another look at the username to see if they're still around and the moment I saw 'Deleted', I came to the realization that I could very well end up as another 'Deleted' in the sea of quitters. I hope Mr. Deleted left the forum but still built a real Fastlane business, but I seriously doubt it.

What I am truly dreadful of is not losing or failing or any setbacks like that, but instead it is the fear that one day something bad will happen that will tick me off beyond a threshold point (arbitrarily defined by my own subjective experience) that I end up not doing anything for days, and then weeks... and months.... and years... and decades.

Does anyone relate to this? I know a lot of the more seasoned entrepreneurs here have long surpassed this stage but I want to know what it's like from the newbies or intermediates. How do you deal with this on a daily basis? Personally, I just fight it off with my mental energy, and it's like an exercise of total domination over one's own impulses and feelings, a constant bout of boxing.

Update: looks like this was a guest account after all... But my point still stands. What are the people who were in this forum a decade ago but left like now?
