Conquer Fear … and find Life
“Always a person finds his true self when he walks the Within Trail. … He finds the quiet waters and looks at their reflection. Always he must accept what he sees in those waters before he can go on. … All other paths depend on this great acceptance and what he does with it”
“What blocks acceptance?”
The elder tilted his head. Hands turned upright alternately. “Love of yourself. Love of stuff. Not believing. Being lazy … and Fear!” came the quiet answer.
“Fear stops one from taking acceptance into his heart. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of others. Fear of self. Fear of what others say. Fear of the battle. Fear of the fight.”

How often has fear stopped me from following my heart’s yearnings. And how much lost happiness have I suffered because of these missed opportunities. Now I see that these are not only singular instances, but also main paths of life. Fear stops one from ACCEPTING ones true self …. and thus, from knowing ones true path. Conquer Fear … and find Life.
