There are no guarantees . From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the view point of love, none are necessary
Emmanuel Teney
March 23rd- give love not fear
The U. S; Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, but the pursuit of it You have to catch up with it for yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
In life there are no guarantees, only opportunities and what we do with them. Seize the moment and embrace the opportunity.. You will be grateful you did.
On the surface love is a positive emotion that fosters a connection between people whether they are parents, lovers, friends, or family of any kind. Fear on the other had does the exact opposite. When we fear someone or something, we want to do anything other than connect with the feared person or object.
The choice to reject fear and choose love can feel like something that only applies to moments of crisis, when we’re leaving a marriage, starting a new business, preparing to climb Mt. Everest. But in truth the opportunity to choose love and reject fear presents itself in the smallest moments of life, and specifically in relationships with those closest to us. Love over fear is a choice every time we tell someone something about ourselves or have an experience of us that we don’t want to hear.
When we feel emotionally attacked, blamed or criticized in someway we experience fear, Our identity is threatened. As a result we react from a place of fear.
If we want to choose love over fear as a life practice we don’t have to wait for a crisis situation, we can simply use the opportunity presented . We need to do our best to actually hear what the other person is saying without defending our version of who we are or what we think. Operating from love is to set our own ego aside long enough to experience the other, to be courageous enough to listen and try to understand what others are experiencing, no matter how different it is from what we intended, to have the strength of heart to understand and open our heart to what it is that others are trying to express. Not blaming but be willing to to have courage enough to open our heart and be love even when we’re screaming fear. When you don’t choose love you are choosing fear. We can’t feel both at the same time. We must continuously choose love and drive fear away in order to nourish our souls, just as we need to eat to nourish our bodies and drive away hunger
