“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.”
BrainSnacks, by Karl Albrecht, Ph.D.
Fear seems to have gotten a bad rap amongst most human beings. And it’s not nearly as complicated as we try to make it.
A simple and useful definition of fear is: An anxious feeling, caused by our anticipation of some imagined event or experience.
Medical experts tell us that the anxious feeling we get when we’re afraid is a standardized biological reaction. It’s pretty much the same set of body signals, whether we’re afraid of getting bitten by a dog, getting turned down for a date, or getting our taxes audited. more here
