It's A Wonderful Life

success begins where fear ends

"our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure..."

(i've seen that quote accredited to a few folks, including Nelson Mandela and Marianne Williamson)

think about how suspicious and uncomfortable you get when things go your way

you start wondering when the "lucky streak" is going to wear off and life will plummet to the depths of discontent and discomfort, where you're used to it

and guess what? you're negative thinking will probably satisfy your expectation

why is success and happiness so unexpected and so frightening?

we have been conditioned to believe that contentment and enjoyment are some unusual esoteric conditions that we have no hope of ever achieving

that's only for those special people in the world

you're not supposed to enjoy school

you're not supposed to enjoy work

you're not supposed to enjoy relationships

geez. what is there then?

it's Deception.

life is meant to be enjoyed at every moment, at every phase, by every person

and it's really not that scary. it's pretty wonderful, actually

living at the highest level of existence (Bliss), while constantly fearing falling into the pits disappointment just defeats the purpose.

lesson: have a great life.
