An Important Lesson in Fearless Living
Never forget this vital lesson in fearless living: Everything we resist in life always appears with the temptation to avoid that same moment, whatever its nature.
But, what we must see -- if we want to be free of the regrets that always follow this kind of fear -- is that the only power this darkness-spawned doubt holds over us in that moment... is an indefinable pain not only discouraging us from facing our fear, but that speaks to us...telling us why the wise thing to do is just quit before we get hurt more than we already are!
Freedom from all fearful, discouraging thoughts and feelings is found in our willingness to see the truth of the above, summarized as follows: any part of us that would convince us to give up our wish to be self-realized -- in whatever realm it may be to which we are drawn -- isn't protecting us from regret and sorrow; it's trying to imprison us in its world of perpetual lament.
