If you have less fear, then you will have more love.

There is a way to tell how much love you have for others.  
Sit down quietly and calmly examine your fears.  
The more fear you have, the less love you have.  
If you have less fear, then you will have more love.  
Your fear will tell how much love you are capable of.  
So learn to live in love and not in fear. 
 Always be cheerful, compassionate and giving. 
 Let Providence work, and trust that you will receive what you need.

~Swami Rama~


If only I could put into words exactly what I am feeling and make it feel profound and quotable, that's what I would say.  I have had times in my life when I have had so much fear, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of harm......that I couldn't open my heart and all my fears came true.  With experience and maturity (age) I have learned that the only thing I have to fear is fear itself.  Okay, so I used another profound and quotable moment from someone else, but it was so perfect.  Open up your heart and let the sun shine in...(you're welcome for the ear worm)

  1. When you come to the edge of all you know,
    believe in one of two things:
    There will be earth on which to stand
    or, you will be given wings. ~unknown
