What If You Had Nothing to Worry About?

Life is a Play. We Forgot We're Acting

In the video, Alan Watts said life is just a game.

A divine theatrical play.
And we forgot we’re acting in it.
We got so deep into our role, we started believing it was real.

So now every problem feels like the end of the world instead of just another scene in the script.

The Loop of Emergency

Every morning, I walk my dog and listen to something inspiring, educational, or just entertaining.

This time, when Alan said:
“What if you have nothing to worry about?”

Something cracked open.

Entrepreneurship trained me to live in a loop of emergency.
Something’s always broken.
And if it’s not? I assume I missed something.

Because the absence of worry feels… unsafe.
Like peace means I’m not paying close enough attention.

But What If the Opposite Is True?

You can tell me how unhealthy this is.

You can offer your advice.
And I’ll take it.

But just know, I do the things.
I meditate. I journal. I breathe.
I know what peace feels like. I just don’t always trust it.

Sometimes peace feels like neglect.
Like I’m forgetting to check the locks or monitor the dashboard.

But maybe... worry isn't a sign of awareness.
Maybe it’s a cage.

When There’s Nothing Left to Fix

Maybe we’ve tied our identity to solving, saving, grinding and when nothing’s on fire, we panic.

Because we don’t know how to just be.

I’m learning (not mastered) that real power isn’t in control.
It’s in surrender.

Metaphysical courage isn’t slaying dragons.
It’s not resisting the rain.

Read that again.

It’s sitting in the unknown.
Letting emotion move through.
Not building an entire identity around fear.

Fear Is Just Heat

Alan Watts said fear is like the heat from a flame.

It’s not something to eliminate. It just is.

Maybe the next system we build isn’t about automating more…
or scaling faster…

Maybe it’s the system that teaches your body
how to exist without the drama.

So I’ll Leave You With This:

What would you build if you weren’t building from fear?

Who would you be if you had nothing left to worry about?

I’m not sure yet.
But I’m playing with that question.

And I think… that’s the game.
