Love Versus Fear

Today I was very conscious of the fact that fear, not love, rules the lives of most people, and used to rule mine.  I really like the way M. Williamson commented that “Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment—or unlearning—of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.”  Through the socialization process while I was growing up I learned to fear many things like authority figures or not performing well enough.  From within that fear, no matter what I did, it was not enough.  From within love I am enough, a good feeling and one that promotes growth.
