Our Deepest Fear

"If she's amazing, won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up... you're not worthy. Truth is everyone's going to hurt you, you just have to find the ones worth suffering for." -Bob Marley.

I think society expects too much out of people. But maybe it is because we know how capable everybody is of accomplishing things. We know that if they wanted to, everyone could reach their highest potential.
We are either two things... overly confident, or having the lowest expectations. I tend to go toward having low expectations. Not that I'm always negative, I just don't really trust anyone. And with certain things in life, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

And maybe that is why we do give our whole heart to everything we do. Are we scared of trying, or are we scared of the fear? I think it is we are scared of what will happen.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.   Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others." --Marianne Williamson   So why is it we care so much about what other people think? Because they can't control your life. They don't wake up in your shoes every morning. They haven't seen the things you have seen or been in the situations you have been. They do not know what it is like to be you. They do not know what the things that have happened in your life that causes you to make the decisions you make--even if they are bad ones. A lot of the times, people don't know any better. And a lot of the times, people are looking for an escape. And the only way they know how are probably the things we all make fun of or judge. And in the long run, we are ruining ourselves by doing those things.   "The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk away."   

Some people will never understand the concept of everyone is a different person and we need to respect every single one of them. Those people are the worst kind of people--the selfish. If you really think about it, every crime, every rude comment, every bad action people is our of selfishness. And the moment that someone judges your or doesn't take the time to see the blessings you could bring into their life is when YOU should walk away. Its not because you are weak. It's not because you have no comeback to say to them. Its because when some ones makes those judgments, it's them who are not comfortable with themselves.

 

That is why we cannot judge them either. Let them make judgments about us, but if we get mad, or make the same judgments about them, then we are no better. We have no grounds to get mad, or angry because we are doing the same things back to them.

 

Don't get even, get better.

 

What's wrong with the world is we focus too much on other people. WE let them stop us from doing things we want to do. WE let them change to we are. WE let them make us afraid to be who we are, When we should be focusing on how to better ourselves.

We need to be nice to them because they are the ones who need it the most. All we can do it try to understand the things they do, and why they act the way they do. We need to be more understanding of those peoples. We can be the ones to change their lives.
