Once upon a time there was a dragon. The dragon was incredibly fierce and the people of the land were terrified of it. They spent their lives in fear and did everything they could to avoid the dragon's bite. To keep themselves safe they built themselves castles to live in.
Some people built their castles out of money. The more money they got the higher their walls became and the safer they felt. Some built their castles out of respect, feeling that the more people respected them, the higher their walls would be and the harder it would be for the dragon to get them. Others built their castles out of fame. The more famous they became, the higher their walls grew and the safer they felt. The people spent every day in fear, running around trying to get more and more money, respect, fame etc to stay safe from the dreaded bite of the dragon.
But what if you woke one day and realised that there was no dragon? There would be no need to waste your time chasing after money, fame or respect. All that fear would simply disappear and you could live your life with freedom and joy. Fears are just thoughts. Drop the thought and the fear disappears. Try it - you will be amazed how liberating it feels.
