  <title>How to Overcome Fear in an Increasingly Scary World</title>
  <author>opium</author>
  <link>https://opium.livejournal.com/1631010.html</link>
  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8582/27780297874_cbed999d62_o.jpg&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://passionschool.net/2016/07/18/how-to-overcome-fear-in-an-increasingly-scary-world/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How to Overcome Fear in an Increasingly Scary World&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Excerpt:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is more important than ever that we do it NOW, because some lunatic could just kill us at any time &amp;ndash; a person who chose the wrong fork in the road &amp;ndash; someone who never really got to be who they were truly destined to be &amp;ndash; that denial of their possible greatness led them to nefarious choices. They could shoot us in the face while we sign autographs. Slaughter us while we dance at a nightclub. Murder us while we are in our car. Mow us down while we celebrate life with others. It&amp;rsquo;s impossible to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you live through an ordeal where you almost lose your life, you may never stop taking life for granted.</description>

  <title>Please help me out!</title>

  <link>https://opium.livejournal.com/1630351.html</link>
  <description>Hey guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am reaching out again trying to get donations so I can get to this event. I know it&amp;#39;s not the most imminent thing that needs funding, but in terms of helping out someone who wants to reach their goals that you KNOW and have known online for years, and to help someone who wants to do good in the world and help women (and guys) rise up to defend themselves and others - consider it, please! There are many rewards for certain donation amounts including artwork, health coaching, my zine, postcards, undying love, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if it&apos;s only $5, I appreciate every bit, and it all adds up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZylX77X1dY&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Donate? :)&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>How to Get Back on Track so You Can Reach Your Destiny</title>

The chances that we will make it to our intended destinations are almost non-existent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;So, let us question our every thought, every movement, every second, so we can reach those glittery dream realms that we imagined as children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;They do exist, but they&amp;rsquo;re impossible to locate unless we have the maps to get us there, and the beliefs that we can reach them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>4 Reasons You Should Do Morning Pages to Improve Your Life</title>
  <author>opium</author>
  <link>https://opium.livejournal.com/1629789.html</link>
  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7720/28025843595_8b110fc7a0_z.jpg&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://passionschool.net/2016/07/05/4-reasons-you-should-do-morning-pages-to-improve-your-life/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;4 Reasons You Should Do Morning Pages to Improve Your Life&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Excerpt:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morning Pages involve three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing every day when you wake up, before anything else, and you&amp;rsquo;re not allowed to stop, or edit, or really even think about what you&amp;rsquo;re writing. You spill your guts. You literally write whatever comes to mind. You can write &amp;ldquo;blah blah blah&amp;rdquo; until something else starts to form. It&amp;rsquo;s a release &amp;ndash; you just open up and let it all fall on to paper.&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;They got me to start creating again. They lit a fire within me. They got me to quit my stupid job. They led me to see what was absolutely stupid in my life and what I needed to change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They can do the same for you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

If there is competition involved, there will be a advantage. If there is health involved, vibrancy will expand even higher. If there is exercise involved, strength will be taken even further.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify;&quot;&gt;Results can only be bigger. Success can only be more imminent. Strength can only be greater. Life can only be better.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

You&amp;rsquo;re human. Being human without dreams and aspirations is like being a dragon without fire, or a shark with no fins &amp;ndash; you just drift, gasping for breath, as you&amp;rsquo;re swept along in the tides of life, but you&amp;rsquo;re not swimming WITH them.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

Follow the map. Discover buried treasure (your possible life).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to the cues of the universe. Often, the answers you are seeking are colliding with you from all sides, but you are oblivious to them because you aren&amp;rsquo;t open to changing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7778/16766545583_cce1c8dd89_o.jpg&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://passionschool.net/2016/06/18/why-youre-scared-of-success-more-than-failure/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Why You&amp;#39;re Scared of Success More Than Failure&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Excerpt:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Success means being VULNERABLE &amp;ndash; much more so than failing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Failing (and not continuing forward) is EASY to deal with. We can numb it out with food, TV, Facebook, weed, whatever our drug of choice is. We can give up and identify as victims. Poor us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With success, we can&amp;rsquo;t do that. There are essential aspects that go with it that we cannot ignore. We can&amp;rsquo;t numb them, and that&amp;rsquo;s scary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Identifying as a failure is simple, easy, and lazy. It requires no movement. It is a stagnant place to be. People wonder why they are depressed and anxious, but it&amp;rsquo;s because they aren&amp;rsquo;t in line with their heart&amp;rsquo;s desires, and it means they&amp;rsquo;re not taking any action (or they&amp;rsquo;ve tried and given up).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fear of success holds us back. It makes us responsible for our own happiness, it means we are not able to identify as victims anymore. Our identities are shattered. We have to start again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But isn&amp;rsquo;t that a good thing? Isn&amp;rsquo;t starting over a gift? You can unearth that version of you that&amp;rsquo;s been buried for so long underneath the crap and angst.</description>

  <title>Wednesday Post on Passion School: Choosing to be a Hero, or a Disgrace (a Post About Rape)</title>
  <author>opium</author>
  <link>https://opium.livejournal.com/1626282.html</link>
  <description>I wrote this last night and wasn&amp;#39;t sure if I was going to post it, but it&amp;#39;s my damn blog and I&amp;#39;ll post what I want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it&amp;#39;s relevant. Choosing to be a rapist or another type of criminal, over choosing to be a heroic, amazing, inspiring human being is just that - a CHOICE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://passionschool.net/2016/06/08/choosing-to-be-a-hero-or-a-disgrace-a-post-about-rape/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Choosing to be a Hero, or a Disgrace&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

  <title>Go Fund Me! YAY!</title>
  <author>opium</author>
  <link>https://opium.livejournal.com/1626041.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone who still reads!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am raising funds to go to a seminar in September for an all-women&amp;#39;s Ninjutsu seminar. I&amp;#39;ve been pretty stoked about this for the last two years.&lt;br /&gt;Of course it doesn&amp;#39;t help that I quit my job last month, but I assure you I am working my ass off to make a living for myself. Of course this does not lend itself well to going to seminars, which I have NEVER done, and I&amp;#39;d prefer to not go further in to debt if I can help it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are rewards for certain levels of donation as I can&amp;#39;t possibly feel good just asking for handouts and giving nothing back. The rewards include health consults and custom, personalized artwork!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please check it out :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://gofundme.com/286nrdw&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#f711cd;&quot;&gt;Help me kick some major ass so I can help other girls kick ass in the future!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (that&amp;#39;s the point, you know - I want to teach, eventually, and of course be able to defend myself as well! The higher purpose is to become really good so I can teach).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
