Our world was never meant to be 'fear based'. In our innocence we were taught fear and over the many years, we have expanded what we fear and our responses to that fear. We often practice hate, pain, and dominance in order to run from our fear, but that only heightens it as we realize it follows us and is not so easy to shake off. Instead, it is time to change the paradigm. Face what we fear and see if there is any real substance to it or if it is the illusion of others thoughts and beliefs that we have accepted without analysis. Get to know what is feared; make it our friend. Shine a light on the dark places, even those that hide within ourselves. Darkness can be irradicated with light, it only takes one to begin. #
