fearlessness

There is a distinct difference between Darkness and Satan. Darkness is silence, the void, Zen; nothingness. Satan was a pig-headed being who fought to get his way. Wake up! Don't let him have his way anymore.

Like a Columbus of the heart, mind and soul I have hurled myself off the shores of my own fears and limiting beliefs to venture far out into the uncharted territories of my inner truth, in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who I really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others and explored the new horizons of what it means to be truly and completely me, in all my amazing imperfection and most splendid insecurity.

Some people are busy working on their pose instead of their purpose.

The good news is that as fragile as fearlessness may be, it is also a personal quality that we can foster in ourselves.

You can either be a person who is a coward, afraid, ready to submit, surrender, a person who has himself no dignity, no respect for his own being__r you can be fearless. But then you are going to be a rebel, you cannot avoid that. Either you can be a man of faith or you are going to be a rebellious spirit.

If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough.

You can't be a rebel without the scars that come with it. Truth is, some days scars are just as ugly as they are beautiful.

Fearlessness means surrendering one__ outcomes _ in essence, making peace that your outcomes regarding life__ events ---may or may not come to fruition.

We all have the power of light inside us, it__ just that sometimes the darkness is stronger. Fear is like darkness, too. It can consume you. It will consume you. And when you let it consume you, it__l be hard as hell to break free from it. You have to fight it.

Never shy away from opportunity and wholehearted living. Never be fearful of putting yourself out there. The courageous may encounter many disappointments, experience profound disillusionment, gather many wounds; but cherish your scars for they are the proud emblems of a truly phenomenal life. The fearful, cautious, cynical and self-repressed do not live at all. And that is simply no way to be in this world.

Embrace all emotions: sadness, happiness, sorrow, hate, love, prejudice, fear; they are weapons against our greatest enemy: indifference.

A life spent at the edge of the pier is a life full of regret, a life full of fear.

Unprovoked hostility is often but displaced self-defense: 'I must stop him before he stops me.' In many of such environments, nobody is really hateful so much as they are just fearful.

Don__ be afraid. Be the kind of person your mother warned you about.

When you are grateful,' Brother Steindl-Rast explained, 'you are not fearful, and when you are not fearful, you are not violent. When you are grateful, you act out of a sense of enough and not out of a sense of scarcity, and you are willing to share. If you are grateful, you are enjoying the differences between people and respectful to all people. The grateful world is a world of joyful people. Grateful people are joyful people. A grateful world is a happy world.

Temporary extreme fear while saying the truth is easy to overcome than the perpetual fear of the unspoken truth.

One absolutely sure way to be fearless is to speak the truth at all time about everything.

The most risky liability of your life is 'the unspoken truth'.
