Fear or love
Aug 28, 2006

I think it was a mistake to tell you awhile back that I rarely post things other people have written. I?m discovering that that rule boxes me in too much.



Here?s something that I like a lot from Rhonda Britten?s book Fearless Loving. I?ll tell you more about what it means to me in another post.





Fear tells you to hide your true self.

Love tells you to stand up and shine.



Fear wants perfection.

Love is perfect despite appearances.



Fear tells you being right is the way to stay safe.

Love knows safety is an illusion.



Fear argues for your limitations.

Love takes a stand for your greatness.



Fear wants more.

Love knows there is always enough.



Fear thinks pain is a weakness.

Love sees pain as an opening.



Fear wants guarantees.

Love wouldn?t ask for guarantees.



Fear tells you to protect yourself.

Love tells you to be vulnerable.



Fear wants to know why.

Love wants to know how.



Fear wants to confine.

Love wants to let go.



Fear wants to hold on.

Love wants to surrender.



Fear wants to be wanted.

Love knows it is wanted.



Fear judges.

Love accepts.



Fear tells you to sacrifice.

Love tells you it?s a gift.





What do you think? Does this speak to you? Are you noticing any insights? Or do you think this is complete balderdash?



Namaste,

Michael
