“If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.” T Harv Eker – Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.” ~Seneca
"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety." - Abraham H. Maslow
I find that fear has run my life on many levels. And the experience of freedom and peace that comes, and grows, when I risk this: "Do the thing[s] you [I ]fear, and the death of fear is certain."
And probably my favorite:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Thanks for that Muchu,
I think it opens to new paradigms.
