Openness doesn’t come from resisting our fears but from getting to know them well. Pema Chodron
Resistance uses energy in a way that is not efficient or powerful. It’s like sticking your head in the sand to avoid a sandstorm. It doesn’t mean the sandstorm isn’t happening AND you’re not really dealing with it, are you.
So, what’s the BEST way to use your energy? Cultivate fearlessness!
Be willing to engage fear at a different level. Most of the time we just get a whiff of it and head for the hills. What if . . . you just had tea with fear? You don’t have to go to dinner yet, maybe just a quick meet up at a cafe. Perhaps a casual conversation, nothing deep and meaningful. Just a hello, let’s get to know one another.
You don’t have to be in love with fear, just make friends. Your world will change if you do.
