What is fear?
Our fear is created out of love by our mind to protect ourselves from pain. And u r the one who decides to bring urself into tat moment. since u can choose wat u r frightened of, u can also unchoose it!
When u only view ur obstacles and fears as desirable, u rob urself of the hidden lessons they contain.
remember: The Earth is a big classroom.
What I m trying to convey is tat the purpose of life is for u to grow, that change is inevitable, that things aren't always supposed to be easy. Obstacles will always be in part of our lives and I believe tat one of the qualities tat best defines us as human beings is how we handle these obstacles and challenge.
Life isn't abt getting everything in place and keeping it tat way. That isn't called living; its called stagnation...
However, trying to get our lives to be 'stable' and not rock the boat is the perfect formula for suffering. That's called 'waiting for death' in Mandarin.
Your mind decides which u prefer to be.
