Conquer A New Fear Every Day...

For those of us who want to become more than what we are today, the trick -- and indeed often our 'existential failing point' -- is to conquer a new fear every day....This is the 'existential abyss', or the 'ontological chasm', that separates us from 'being' to 'becoming'...We need to either creativly build a bridge across this abyss, whatever form both the chasm and the bridge may take, or we may just plain need to find the 'ontological or existential courage' to jump (preferrably with a net below us in the form of 'self and/or social support' if we fall...so we can get up and keep jumping again until we 'successfully fly' across our existential chasm...) -- dgb
