Fear will set you free

"My worst fears have been realized. And strangely, it's liberating."

Quote from "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James

No rules, no fear

"Grigg: I understand why Colonel Brandon goes for Marianne. And it's not 'cause she's young. It's because she's, she’s generous with herself. She's willing to risk her heart. No rules, no fear."

Quote from the movie "The Jane Austen Book Club" (2007).

¡Mantén tus sueños vivos! (Keep those dreams alive!))

Love fears nothing (el amor no te teme a nada)

From Mariposa Ministeries on Facebook, truly inspirational!!!!

"Recently, I was asked to surrender a relationship that means the world to me. Now surrender means "to give OVER"- not to give UP. While I was aware that this was exactly what needed to take place, I was also aware that I was not yet willing to do that. I was in fear. Fear about what I might lose that was familiar and comfortable, even if it wasn't appropriate or loving. So, I prayed, asking to become willing. Thankfully, today, I am willing and have surrendered. Today, I am reminded of this Truth- that "Love fears nothing". There is nothing to fear because surrender is an act of love. What fear are you holding onto today? Is there anything you are being called upon to surrender? go ahead...do it in LOVE!"

Tiempo y espacio (time & space)

Una amiga muy especial escribió esto el martes pasado en Facebook y con su permiso, se lo robo:

"Llevo una temporada larga intentando trabajar mis miedos, o al menos ese miedo en particular que me bloquea, se interpone entre yo y el mundo a mi alrededor. Ese miedo específico que no me deja acabar de ser una persona fuerte. En este trabajo, me he dado cuenta de lo fácil que es juzgar el miedo ajeno, es decir, alguien se abre a ti, te explica su miedo y piensas: cómo puede ser!! No lo entiendo!! Con lo fácil que sería hacer esto o esto otro…..ay amigo!! Supongo que como todo en la vida, cuando te toca vivirlo a ti, ese “miedo” se convierte en una obsesión, en algo que distorsiona tu realidad.

Pienso que los miedos es otro sentimiento más, un sentimiento que nos pertenece, que es nuestro, y supongo que mi primera reacción hacia ese miedo es rechazarlo, después se acomodó en mi pensamiento, tenía forma, y el se sentía fuerte al haberle concedido yo un espacio y se hacía cada vez más y más grande. Y los miedos, fundados o no, se “toman la licencia” de ir ocupando el espacio que nosotros les demos, e incluso un poquito más.

La teórica y retórica son muy fáciles, todos o la mayoría de nosotros tenemos esa parte aprobada. LA TEORICA, sabemos tanto de todo!! , yo sabía describir perfectamente mi miedo, podía enumerar al detalle las sensaciones que me provocaba y era capaz de revivir una y otra y otra y otra vez ese sentimiento, revivía con esa teórica-retórica y permitía que mi miedo me invadiera, ocupara cada vez un poquito más de mi.

Hoy tengo que dar las gracias a Mònica e Isabel, que han tenido muchísima paciencia conmigo, han sabido respetar mi tiempo, me han tratado con tanto respeto, tanto amor y tanto cuidado, que de corazón agradezco al Universo que las haya puesto en mi camino.

No es el momento ni el lugar de entrar en detalles de las particularidades, porque ha sido un camino largo y duro, pero por fin me doy cuenta de que sí que avanzo, de que sí soy fuerte y valiente y de que gracias a vosotras dos estoy superando este bloqueo. Gracias por estar en mi camino, gracias por darme la mano durante todo el proceso, a mirarme a los ojos y decirme: lo estás haciendo muy bien!! Os agradezco desde lo más hondo de mi corazón todo lo que estais haciendo por mí."

Running

In facing your fears, sharing them and having them confirmed, rather than batted away by a well-meaning friend - "No, you're not fat! You're curvy!" - you are bravely facing up to the truth. This allows you to do something about whatever it is that's making you unhappy.

Dejo ir al miedo, la angustia, la ira.

Me entrego a la voluntad divina de Dios, mientras me alejo de la oscuridad. 

Hago morir a mi ego, para que pueda renacer todo el amor y mi humildad. 

Hago morir al miedo, mientras me entrego al amor y a la felicidad.

No regrets

Top Five Regrets of The Dying 
By Bronnie Ware on November 30, 2011

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.

People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard. 
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 
Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. 
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

Hello Fear

"Hello Fear" by Kirk Franklin

Hello Fear
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain
Since you're here
I think I should tell you since we last talked things have changed
See I'm tired of being broken-hearted
So I made a list and you're on it
All my hopes and my dreams You took from me
I want those back before you leave

Hello Fear
I knew I would see you, You have a hard time letting go
See these tears,Take a good look cuz, soon they wont fall anymore
God's healing my hurful places
That seat that was yours now is taken
I'm no longer afraid,See I'm better this way
And one more thing before you leave

Never again will I love you
My heart it refuses to be your home
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Apart from you is where I belong

And never again will I trust you
I'm tired of fighting it's been way too long
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Who I was and now it's gone
They're gone
Hello Fear
Da da da da da, da da da da da

Farewell Goodbye So long [3X]

Hello Grace
It feels like forever, I thought my chance with you was gone
See your face, it reminds me of mercy
And please let me say I was wrong
Never knew your touch was endless
How you never run dry of forgiveness
Didn't know how bad it was, was afraid just because
Sorry fear, grace took your place

[Chorus]

Farewell Goodbye So long [8X]

Hello Fear
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain


Fragment of the lyrics quoted by my friend Jemima on Facebook on the 06-March-2012

There goes the fear

THERE GOES THE FEAR - by Doves
Out of here
We're out of here
Out of heartache
Along with fear
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

And cars speed fast
Out of here
And life goes past
Again so near
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cos there goes the fear
Let it go

You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to those you love
To ask them why ?
You look to those you love
To justify
You turned around and life's
Passed you by
Passed you by, again

And late last night
Makes up her mind
Another fight
Left behind
There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear

Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cos there goes the fear
Let it go

You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to ones you love
To ask them why ?
You look to those you love
To justify
You turned around and life's
Passed you by
Passed you by, again

Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when he's calling out
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear, let it go

Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

[Heard on TodayFM this morning]

Not being afraid to be happy

Interesting how things are connected.

Last year my blog was about living happily and I wrote a post about a song called "Sin miedo" (that's "without fear" to you and me). I included this song on my blog because it talks about how we have a chance to be happy if we life without fear.

I had forgotten about it until the song came on the radio last Sunday while I was driving towards Teguise.

Santa Barbara's castle with Teguise's windmill (Lanzarote)

Incidentally I was heading to a place by myself, which I don't like doing, to do something I don't feel comfortable doing either: meeting new people. Incidentally too I always had quite an irrational fear of driving. Needless to say, listening to her upbeat tune made me realise what a long way I've come too as driving is one of my favourite things to do now!!!

This particular song I'm talking about was a huge success when I was younger, before I left my country. I vaguely remembered that the artist, Rosana, came from the Canary Islands. Little did I know she is actually a native of Lanzarote, the paradise island I decided to move to when moving back to my country after living abroad for 14 years!!!! I get goosebumps when I watch the video of the song as I recognise some of the spots and landscapes of the place that proudly now I call home.

Here is my loose translation of the lyrics of her song:

WITHOUT FEAR by Rosana
Without fear you feel you are lucky
playing with gnomes that keep you warm along the way
making every step the best your lived
it's better to live without fear

Without fear, the bad becomes good
the streets blend into the sky
and we become birds, flying over the ground, like that
without fear, if you want the start I'll tip over the sky
Dreams aren't impossible or that far
If we are like children
without fearing craziness, without fear to smile

Without fear, the waves caress the fire
if we rise high up our fingertips
on our tip-toes we can touch the universe, like that
without fear, our hands get filled with wishes
that are not impossible or that far
if we are like children
without fearing tenderness, not being afraid to be happy

******************************************************************************
This is the post in last year's blog: Sin miedo - it includes the video of the song and the original lyrics in Spanish

Desiderata

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

"Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy."

Atrapado en un sentimiento (hooked on a feeling)

"Existen motivos para la indignación y también para la alegría o el entusiasmo. Lo malo del asunto es cuando quedamos atrapados en un sentimiento, en solo uno, y lo convertimos en el filtro por el que percibimos toda realidad. Sabemos que, atrapados en una emoción, no solo se resiente nuestro organismo, sino que acuden a nuestra mente ideas y planes tamizados por dicha emoción. Si hay miedo, por ejemplo, se contrae el estómago, asoman expresiones de terror y acuden a la mente imágenes dramáticas. Si, por el contrario, sentimos emociones positivas, los efectos también lo serán."

Extracto de "¿Es que ya nadie va a ilusionarse?" de Xavier Guix publicado en Elpaís.com

Trabajamos más horas que un esclavo romano

"Ahora estamos atrapados: trabajamos más por menos.
El sistema no va a cambiar. Platón decía que el mejor sistema político es aquel que tiene a los mejores ciudadanos. Debemos cambiar nosotros, recuperarnos como seres humanos y vencer el miedo.

Tenemos muchos. ¿A cuál de ellos?
Estamos dispuestos a trabajar más por menos dinero por miedo a perder el puesto de trabajo, es lo que decía Dostoyevski: preferimos ser esclavos y no pensar y no temer, pero eso nos deshumaniza."

THE Secret

From "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne

Page 22:
"MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
Oftentimes when people begin to understand the Great Secret, they become frightened of all the negative thoughts that they have. They need to be aware that it has been scientifically proven that an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought. That eliminates a degree of worry right there."

Page 32:
"MARCI SHIMOFF
Everything we think and feel is creating our future. If you're worried or in fear, then you're bringing more of that into your life throughout the day. "

Page 67:
"If you are rushing or hurrying, know that those thoughts and actions are based in fear (fear of being late) and you are "fixing up" bad things ahead for you. As you continue to rush, you will attract one bad thing after another into your path. In addition t that, the law of attraction is "fixing up" more future circumstances that will cause you to rush and hurry. You must stop and move yourself off that frequency. Take a few moments and shift yourself, if you don't want to summon bad things to you."

Intention

"There are many definitions of intention. This is mine: an intention is a declaration of anything positive you want to do or invite into your life. It's high vibration energy. In contrast, research shows our thoughts, left to their own whimsy, will roll downhill toward worry and fear. It's called negativity bias. Here's the good news. Intention is a gorgeous flavor of thought that is potent positive energy. More good news - there's an unlimited supply of this energy, and we have access to it 24/7."

Queda prohibido (It's forbidden)

QUEDA PROHIBIDO de Pablo Neruda

"Queda prohibido llorar sin aprender,
levantarte un día sin saber que hacer,
tener miedo a tus recuerdos.

Queda prohibido no sonreír a los problemas,
no luchar por lo que quieres,
abandonarlo todo por miedo,
no convertir en realidad tus sueños.

Queda prohibido no demostrar tu amor,
hacer que alguien pague tus deudas y el mal humor.

Queda prohibido dejar a tus amigos,
no intentar comprender lo que vivieron juntos,
llamarles solo cuando los necesitas.

Queda prohibido no ser tú ante la gente,
fingir ante las personas que no te importan,
hacerte el gracioso con tal de que te recuerden,
olvidar a toda la gente que te quiere.

Queda prohibido no hacer las cosas por ti mismo,
tener miedo a la vida y a sus compromisos,
no vivir cada día como si fuera un último suspiro.

Queda prohibido echar a alguien de menos
sin alegrarte, olvidar sus ojos, su risa,
todo porque sus caminos han dejado de abrazarse,
olvidar su pasado y pagarlo con su presente.

Queda prohibido no intentar comprender a las personas,
pensar que sus vidas valen mas que la tuya,
no saber que cada uno tiene su camino y su dicha.

Queda prohibido no crear tu historia,
no tener un momento para la gente que te necesita,
no comprender que lo que la vida te da, también te lo quita.

Queda prohibido no buscar tu felicidad,
no vivir tu vida con una actitud positiva,
no pensar en que podemos ser mejores,
no sentir que sin ti este mundo no sería igual."

Love is the answer

"A way out of the “I’m scared” thought pattern is offered in A Course in Miracles. I have a special love for this weighty tome that tells us there are only two emotions we can experience: love and fear. Anything that is love cannot be fear, and anything that is fear cannot be love. If we can find our way to stay in a space of love, then fear is an impossibility." Dr Wayne W. Dyer
