C'mon...What Are YOU 'Afraid' Of?

     Insofar, as I can tell, in this world, there, exist, but TWO driving, emotional-forces, one of them, LOVE, the, other...FEAR. Often, though, we may not recognize, that, it, is, in fact, 'fear', which, we are experiencing, as, it, can, masquerade itself as other-emotions, that, we, may be, more, familiar with. Fear, shows itself in a myriad of ways, with, a multitude of actions, reactions, responses and mannerisms, manifesting from it; It, 'wears' a lot of ugly-hats! Anything, that, is NOT LOVE, IS Fear; for LOVE can be only, good and positive; It, cannot and, WILL not, abide nastiness, nor, negativity. When we are cruel, demeaning, of ourselves and others, hateful and hate-filled, when we are filled with self-doubt, are mean-spirited, oppressive, ridiculing, and tortured, and/or, unhappy, these, are, all fear-based emotions. Recognizing the goodness and 'LIGHT', that, resides within us, opens our hearts to pure, love and, acceptance, of ourselves and others, and, ONLY, good can come of this. I am not, so, certain, as to what it is, exactly, that, those who do, 'fear'; this, emotion, the 'impetus', behind insecurity and insensitive treatment of ourselves and fellow-humankind. It has been quoted, that, 'There is nothing to fear, but, fear, itself', and, to this, I would agree. For, there, is nary a thing to 'fear' about loving one's-self, which, DOES, translate to love of/for others. There is nada to 'fear' about happiness and, joy. There is 'ZILCH' to 'fear' about ANYTHING, that, is good...except, perhaps, the 'fear' that, we are 'undeserving' of such. Perhaps, THIS, the real-culprit...the, basis, of this, 'phobia'; For, isn't, ANY, irrational-fear, just, that? And, to me, there exists NOTHING more, irrational, than, a person being afeared of loving him or herself, and, 'opening the door' to true happiness and contentment. To keep in line with this, thinking, if we are 'unwilling' to, truly, love ourselves, based on our feeling undeserving, of such love, what is this, based upon? I feel, that, perhaps, oftentimes, this, may, come from our inability to move forward from past 'mistakes'...maybe, unable to 'forgive' ourselves for our 'humanness'. If one's inability to 'forgive' him/herself, is, in fact, part of the problem, then, I would keep this, fact, in mind, and, at heart. Our, Loving-Creator, regardless, of our, past-behavior(s), is, ALWAYS, willing to forgive us, as long as we ask Him for forgiveness, and, forge-ahead with sincerity and, willingness to improve. Why, then, can we not do the same for ourselves, when, in all, likelihood, we WOULD forgive another, who has 'trespassed' against us. The 'bottom-line' is, that, we are ALL deserving of LOVE, JOY, and, HAPPINESS, as, this is WHO we ARE at our core. When we can connect to this, 'SOURCE'... 'reconnect' to our, TRUE-selves, we will be aligned with the Universe and NEVER be afraid, again. Just Sayin'...
