The world beyond fear

怖さを乗り越えた先にある世界

The flowers in the garden are starting to sprout and the stink bugs in my house have started to become active again this year.

When my son saw it, he cried out "Oh! Stink bug!" and I knew spring had arrived.
And my heart just leaps with joy.

When spring comes, we feel an exciting energy with a hint of tension, as if something new is about to begin. Perhaps this is because this spring has been a special time in many people's lives, with some people moving or graduating, and for some people taking on new challenges.

This year was no exception and recently Oda-kun from the video club at Utsushiki graduated.

A while ago, Oda and his boss, Ono, were talking.

"The fear of not changing is more frightening than the fear of change."
These are Ono's words.

It's been eight years since I created this place called Utsushiki.
Utsushiki is known to many people and brings together artists from a variety of fields, including writers, musicians, and chefs.

Ono-san, who seems to have nothing to fear when he thinks about its existence, says, "I'm more scared than anyone!"
He said that...

This statement has been the most shocking thing to me so far this year.

I think that in our daily lives, for example, we are afraid of other people's reactions and are unable to speak up, or we want to start something new but are unable to take the first step because we are afraid of worrying our family.

I thought it would be easier not to express myself than to be criticized, and more peaceful to not take action than to cause trouble. But actually, even though I may appear calm and peaceful at first glance, I actually want to do XX...
And I was left with a vague feeling of unease in my heart.

I'm more scared of feeling confused forever and never being able to change than I am of the reaction of others...

I think Mr. Ono's words will have a tremendous impact not only on Oda-kun, but also on me, and on anyone who wants to start something new or spread their message.

From my own experience of following my husband who gave up a stable income, I have come to realize that the world that appears after taking action can only be seen by those who take action.

My husband also always says, "Nothing beats the words of someone who has experienced it," and it makes me realize once again that only the person who has experienced it can understand, and that experiences shape the person they are.

When you feel scared about starting or taking action

There may be no way to overcome it or let it go

What I noticed in my daily life through my involvement with Utsushiki is that I simply want to see the world that emerges from my actions, just like a child.

I feel like the most important thing is to have fun.

Have fun and have a great week this week too♡
