Enough is the antidote to fear

I have enough.

There is this certain commodity that I have been panic buying. I don’t need a lot, and I have plenty (several months supply) right now. It’s a hobby thing I’m talking about. I’m being vague on purpose.

Yet there is a shortage on the shelf, so anytime I find some, I buy it.

There is a large pile that I ordered online, waiting for me to pick up. I mean a LOT. I got lucky and placed orders that got fulfilled. As a result I would probably come close to doubling my stash.

I have toyed with the thought over the last couple of days . . . pick it up or get a refund?

Hard core hobbyists would say get it. They are speaking from experience.

I’m going to let half of it go and keep half — for a specific and immediate purpose.

Half of the order is a special type of product that I got just because it is available. That’s the easy decision.

The other half I will pick up so I can take some classes and get skillful in this hobby. It is probably 7 – 8 classes worth of supplies plus practicing on my own.

But additional stacking stuff in the closet just to make me feel secure from future uncertainty? No.

I don’t want to feed the fear of What If. There is enough. False Evidence Appearing Real. Take action in the opposite direction of the “real” my brain conjures up.
