What would you do if you were not afraid?
How do you react when you think you need people's
love? Do you become a slave for their approval? Do you live an inauthentic life
because you can't bear the thought that they might disapprove of you? Do you
try to figure out how they would like you to be, and then try to become that,
like a chameleon? In fact, you never really get their love. You turn into
someone you aren't, and then when they say "I love you," you can't
believe it, because they're loving a facade. They're loving someone who doesn't
even exist, the person you're pretending to be. It's difficult to seek other
people's love. It's deadly. In seeking it, you lose what is genuine. This is
the prison we create for ourselves as we seek what we already have.”

What would you do if you were
not afraid? I have been thinking about this for the past few days. What would I
say if I were not afraid? How would I respond if I were not afraid?
In every single aspect and part
of my life.
I would tell the truth every
single time about how I feel and what I need
I would show up as me every
single time
I would respond with love
I would suspend all judgement
I would forgive
I would be grateful for
everything
I would speak up
I would do my best in every
task
So after three day of umming
and ahhing and faffing around I did what I was supposed to do even though I was
afraid! I still took action. It felt really liberating! I had to send an email
to someone that I postponed for months because I fear, I just did it. Whatever
happens I am proud of me
So I’m curious What would you
do if you were not afraid?
Drop me a line and let me know
Peace!
I would:
ReplyDelete- Give my honest opinion at all times, whether the comment is favourable or not
- Explore different fields and not limit my potential
- Be more relaxed and engaging when around other persons
-Just step out and do....how will I know if things are achievable unless I try!
-Be my authentic self & pull out the "me" that is inside & ready to be released!
