You may want to learn to quiet your mind.

Understand the difference between your true self (the "empty" baby you came to the world as) and your ego (the person you've learned to be since then).

Understand that all reasoning comes from the mind, and is based solely on the things you've learned and the experiences you've had in your life until now.

Imagine a life where you have no fears but have the curiosity, peace and happiness of a baby.

You can have that as soon as you learn to quiet your mind and instead listen to your intuition / 6th sense / heart / whatever you prefer to call it.

Remember this: If you have a reason for something, it came from your mind vs your heart and that's only something you made up based on the experiences you had since you were born (your "story").

There's nothing wrong with coming from your story, except that it usually doesn't really serve you. I'd seriously suggest everybody to live from your true self (who you really are) vs from your conditioned mind (social conditioning, things you've learned, bad experiences etc) to have a more peaceful and happier life and to be truly content and at peace with yourself.
