And yes I am always hoping I have my parent's validation in any endeavor I choose. I also agree with yes, sometimes we just have to be aware of the way we feel about a situation and just move on. what up Albert!

For some reason we believe we will lose some form of safety by losing our fear. Its almost in the experiance of it that we can feel safe but really it just leaves us weak and paralysed. I believe we are born into the universe with a double edge sword, one side is love and the other fear. You've just got to work out what you're are fighting for. The fever I believe is fear.

I know exactly what you mean with those beliefs; I think most Asian cultures have heard some variation of those. Thanks for your comment :D @ Chris: Good to see you here as always. I get the same twinge of doubt when writing, but I've never applied this technique, I should try it. @ Srinivas: Hi mate!

When I'm about to release some piece of my writing, I sometimes have a twinge of doubt like "I shouldn't let people know so much about me," and when I ask myself what I'd get if no one saw anything about me, I see this weird idea that life would be paradise. But of course being invisible wouldn't make life paradise at all, and recognizing that this strange idea is sometimes running the show is a great way to liberate myself from it.

My sister is in med school and I still think that they are definitely more confident in her abilities than mine. What's interesting is the impact that they can have on limiting beliefs like (i.e. you can't make money as a writer, you need a real job, etc, etc.) These are the things I"ve heard growing up and as a result there have definitely been areas where my life was impacted. Great post and very interesting ideas. Albert,
