Avoiding Fear, is Avoiding Life

If you think I

Distraction, is avoidance. The Conscious self, is a participatory one. Is your life a distraction, keeping you from fulfilling a call?

Or do you . . . →Read the Rest: Avoiding Fear, is Avoiding Life

Do you ever find yourself thinking with frustration… “I just want to feel better, I just want to be happy, I don’t like feeling this way and I want it to change.” Does this idea of “feeling better,” drive the decisions you make in life? I ask, not because it’s wrong, but because . . . →Read the Rest: The Drive to Feel Better, Does not Satisfy the Soul

Direction in Beauty

Is it not simply an experience awaiting a meaning?  Influenced by a positive and negative charge.   A love, a fear; equal in their right to exist, creating what they create.   We simply see beauty in one, and by choice, choose it’s direction.  Creating a life experience in love, rather than fear.  It . . . →Read the Rest: Direction in Beauty

Accept Self Truth

We create resistance by avoiding truth.  Those things we do not acknowledge because we fear they will show our weakness, we fear coming to terms with that we are not satisfied with.  Yes… this is called self denial.

Relationship Fear

Prickly Stick

I feel the world becoming smaller in my mind.  I used to see it as such a big place, with an enormous amount of people; …with myself cast to the side to defend against fear.  In this state, it was easier to succumb to daily annoyances that ultimately were of little significance.  Now, I . . . →Read the Rest: Prickly Stick

Dominate Fear

When we make decisions out of fear, we acknowledge its existence as dominant in our lives. In all situations, we can move forward consciously in love if we choose. It’s a matter of defining what you are for, rather than what you are against.

Better or worse, can only describe opinion of flavor.   Better am I, than not one who has slumbered. In stillness, there is one, no man can be worse than another. In willingness, I add beauty, equal to the love of a mother.
