Fear keeps us rooted in the past. Fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. Fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. It's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.
Debbie FordA wise person once wrote, โResentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person would die.โ But the only one dying is ourselves.
Debbie FordCompassion allows us to understand that, as citizens of the planet, weโre all in this together and that in order to ensure our survival we must hold and cultivate a new and larger vision of whatโs possible for ourselves and for the human race as a whole.
