is really freedom from all other dependencies. Paradoxically, it is also the only route to real intimacy with other human beings. Freed from our terrible fears of abandonment, we are able to live with more spontaneity. Freed from our constant demands for more and more reassurance, our fellows are able to love us back without feeling so burdened." taken from p. 95 of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
Let Go of The Fear needs to be printed everywhere we look. Okay, I'm going to letter up some cards and put one in each of my rooms, my car and on my desk. It will be everywhere I look and that is the only way my world will change, it begins with I.
What's good about today is that I can stop pointing fingers at 'the world' and depend on the creator within to take care of me.
PS I did get welcomed into Wellsphere if I choose to have this blog run there. The director would like to put it with the alcoholism ones which I'm not really thrilled about since that doesn't personally describe me. No decision needed right now so will wait on it for now.

Glad they want this blog, but I agree it's disheartening to be ghettoized.

Great post.
ReplyDeleteI think the better I get, the more I realize I am comfortable with myself and that the cruelty of others cannot hurt me unless I allow it. When I recognize that we're all feeling the same kinds of fears, it makes me less fearful too and able to roll with the punches more.
I agree with all you wrote about letting go of fear. That is at the root cause of most everything IMO.
