What if the voice pushing you to hurry, fix, optimize, and prove…
wasn’t truth — but fear?

In this short story, How I Scammed the Scammer, we share a quiet inner conversation between two voices:
the survival voice, speaking with urgency,
and the safety voice, answering with calm presence.

This isn’t a story about winning, arguing, or outsmarting anyone.
It’s about what happens when we stop answering fear with fear —
and choose kindness, rest, and awareness instead.

Sometimes the most powerful response
is not a reaction at all.

🌿 If this story resonated with you, take a moment to pause, breathe, and notice what your own inner voice sounds like today.

00:00Get up. Not like that with purpose. Rest is fine, but not too much. Not without a plan.
00:07Others are moving. Others are improving. You don't want to fall behind, do you?
00:12Lie down if you must, but don't disappear. Rest, but stay alert.
00:18Because if you soften too much, who will keep you safe?
00:22So, you're not going to fight me?
00:25Hello. I hear you, Fear. I know why you learned to talk like this.
00:30You were trying to protect me, but I'm safe enough to soften.
00:33I don't have to brace or argue. I just respond. Calmly. Kindly. Fairly.
00:39No, I won't fight you. I'm here to be present, not to win.
00:43We rest. We move. We live. Without proving.
00:47That's how I scammed the scammer. I didn't argue. I didn't outsmart.
00:51I simply stopped answering urgency with fear. And the call ended on its own.
