Love vs. fear
by Parker · 10 things on Twos
- "There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves, first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life." - John Lennon
- If you are not acting in love, you are acting in fear
- Fear of being wrong, getting hurt, suffering loss
- All of these have yet to happen. They are a potential event in the future
- What if we were hopeful, willing for a positive result?
- What if we did not worry about the future, but focused on doing our best with love, to ourselves and our surroundings, in the present?
- What if we loved what we learned for failure, or loved the opportunity to show up and just breathe?
- It is much more enjoyable, pleasant
- If we do not act with love, we act with fear
- Choose love
