'Fear' and 'love' - which will you choose?

Jun 29, 2018

The two most powerful human emotions are FEAR and LOVE.

Fear causes us to put bigger locks on our doors
Fear causes us to be suspicious of our neighbours
Fear causes us to be jealous or bitter about achievements of others
Fear causes us to stay indoors and reject new life experiences 
Fear causes us to arm ourselves with weapons in the belief that the world is a dangerous place, and that others want what is ours
Fear causes us to worry about the future and dwell on the past
Fear causes us to pull away from life and close ourselves off to all of its magic

Love urges us to share what is ours with those who are lacking
Love leads us to help others in need
Love enables us to empathise with others experiences and feel truly happy or sad for them
Love enhances every second we are alive, filling us with vibrancy
Love makes us trust others, choosing to not only see the positive but to actively embrace it
Love places us right in the present moment
Love opens us up to all of the wonderful experiences that the world has to offer

Choose love - not fear.

“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
