Not knowing – this is the greatest fear most humans have. We try to control this fear by planning things– by making agreements, contracts, vows, maps, However, when creating a life out of fear, the unknown fears show up. The hard knocks, unexpected two by fours and wet willies.
What if we let go of this thought of fear of not knowing and focus on the dreams and visions, the love, the light within me and you. And when you see a glimpse of this dream or vision – let go of that one and notice that feeling it gave you. Is it good?
How do you want to feel inside? How do you want a friend you care for to feel? Sometimes it’s hard to say “I want to feel joyful and happy” – we are taught to believe this is selfish. So I trick my mind often times and ask “how would I want this person I love to feel inside?”.
For example: I want my son to feel joy. Would he feel joy if I am crying? No. Would he feel joy if I was laughing and jumping up & down? I believe so. Who wouldn’t? So this is my job: I created this job for myself in January. I am self employed. It is my job to be happy. BE (happy).
(“Oh, glad to meet you Karen – what do you do for a living”. I “BE HAPPY”.)
A quote my friend Jennifer gave me today:
We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
– Joseph Campbell
