we fear … yet we could love

The thing I hear most from people about what holds them back is “fear.”

We know what we long to do and we fear doing it.

And that fear becomes a habit. A habit that’s lodged in our bodies and in our minds. A loop of thought and feeling that becomes so solid we experience it as ‘reality.’

But what do we really fear?

Really, only two things: Losing what we have. Not getting what we want. Losing love, ability, hope, self-respect. Or never getting it in the first place.

We LIVE in that fear.

What if you could live in love? What if you knew the fear was there, and your actions connected you to the love?

Fear stops us. It stops us from expressing love. And that disconnects us from everything we want.

What if expressing it – through words, music, dancing, touch, food, art, poetry – what if the act of expressing love created more love? More connection?

In all its glorious imperfection.

What if you could start from nothing and create more love in your life – even where there seems to be none – expand it, energize it, create it – by expressing it – the way you can build a fire from a pile of dry paper and wood shavings with friction. The way you can bring a fire roaring back to life just by blowing on it. With just the power of your breath.

Well, that’s how it works. Because love is creative expression. And love expands when it’s expressed. And there is so much more love you have to bring into this world — just by expressing what you love.

In all your glorious imperfection.
