In life, we learn as we grow... Rather as the years pass, as the experiences and interactions increase...
Life happens, life and time teach. Blessed are those who see and learn along the way, and blessed are those too who need to keep going through experiences to make their journey worth the while.
One of the most recent realizations for me, which I always knew, but actually executed very recently is knowing that all decisions made are made out of either fear or love... each and every action of ours can be connected to either of these emotions.
The decision and choices we make out of fear are not wrong... just differently driven... But once you realize that the choices driven by love are FAR stronger and have a much higher, positive impact, you wonder why the hell you were driven by fear in the first place.
We need to do things in life that make US happy. Its easier said that done, but it needs to be done. Not to mean that we need to be selfish, but, selfless with maybe some 'me' time would work better :)
A very recent switch in my thinking made me realize this. When I stopped being fearful of silly things, or worrying and over thinking things... I noticed that in the moment, I make all my decisions and choices out of love. And it made me happier. Which in turn, made everyone else happier too. Spreading smiles, hugs, happiness is what we should all want to do at all times. The world will be a happier a place, and so will your own space.
Fear can become like a beast... an inner beast we all have, need to acknowledge and live with. The challenge is to live cordially with it and not let it take over. We must traverse life alongside that inner beast and come to peaceful terms with it. :)
Life is happening constantly, we all have a past, and the future will be. For now, we must learnt to live in the moment, and make sure we are conscious of our choices and decisions. Also trying to make sure they always come from love and not fear...
Love vs fear... Love wins hands down... :)
