Fear leads to stress, the opposite of inner rest. When we struggle with stress, worry, anxiety, panic attacks and the like, we not only disconnect from our true self, but also from the source of life and its creativity.
Selfishness makes us smaller, more protective and unwilling to share. Such small-mindedness impedes our ability for real success. But when our dreams are for the benefit of others, they have intrinsic power to turn water to wine (happiness and satisfaction), and sawdust to gold (wealth without greed).
Intrinsic power resides in love. When you are awakened to unconditional love, it has a profound ability to alter your life. It gives you power to accept yourself, embrace your flaws, and navigate your path to the place of ultimate satisfaction, contentment and success. The insecurity that whispered that I am not enough turns to an inner confidence that I am enough and all things are possible.
John Lennon, the Beatles’ legend, said, “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.”
