What if it wasn’t scary anymore?

From The Wide Awakening Weekly

“Discomfort only happens when you make the mistake of thinking that the unfamiliar is the same as scary.”

Hi there –

I was just thinking that just because you’ve never done something before, never been that vulnerable before, never spoken in front of people before, never bought a house before, never grown a business before… that doesn’t mean it has to be scary. What if “scary” is just the ego’s mis-interpretation of unfamiliar?

By the way, unfamiliar becomes familiar just by practicing…

Love,

P.S.
Seems to me that true freedom might come from allowing ourselves to become familiar with as many things as we can!

If this resonates for you, maybe it will for your friends, too…

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.

I know I’ve shared this before, but I think it’s worth revisiting. Thinking about my journey, I regret none of my previous relationships. Studying the laws of physics has given me so much clarity around my time with dear partners from the past.

I always thought I had to find the right person. Nope. Not about that. They find you. And that is based on a few important shifts in thinking that changed my life.

1. LOVE JUST IS – love is in and through everything, available at all times. There’s nothing to create as, if it really is love, then it’s already unconditional. Love that feels conditional is actually more about acceptance or approval.
