I don't know if this is the best place for this post. But, since depression has been one thing I've struggled with over the years, I'll put it here.

I've written about the quote in the title to this Thread, in a couple of replies I've offered to other members' Threads. There is a story that was told by the late Chogyam Trungpa, the Tibetan meditation teacher. He wrote about the time when he, along with other followers of the Dalai Lama, were leaving Tibet for India as a result of the Chinese incursion into Tibet. Trungpa Rinpoche wrote that he knew an old monk who was known to say: "Walk toward what scares you." Trungpa Rinpoche wrote that the last time he saw him, the old monk was walking toward China.

Now, I'm an old man. And, at this point, I pretty-much just keep to myself. I do go out when I need to. It's not like I can't leave the house. But the reality is most everything outside my front door scares me. My health is not the best. And whenever I get out in public, I get nervous & confused easily. I also have limited transportation options... mostly the metro bus system, which I consider to be even more dangerous than the streets! I believe in what the old monk said: "Walk toward what scares you." But I don't, for the life of me, know what it means for me... How do I walk toward what scares me?
