"When we are able to look at our lives and our worlds without fear or judgments, we realize that this dream we are dreaming - reality - can be whatever we want it to be".
The above mentioned quote is from teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz the author of The Four Agreements who believes that fear is the source of all negative agreements we've made with life. Love is opposite of fear and before we can achieve The Mastery of Love, we must move beyond fear. We can imagine two tracks, one of love and one of fear. By comparing them, we can see which track we are on.
Love
Has no expectations
Has no obligations
Has respect for self and others
Is patient
Does not pity
Is detached
Is kind
Fear
Is filled with expectations
Is full of obligations
(Acting from obligations brings suffering, and failing to act leads to the feeling of guilt)
Respects nothing even self
(Feeling sorry for self or others means no respect)
Is impatient
Is filled with pity especially self-pity
Is filled with attachments and dreads having to let go
Is too self-absorbed to be kind
Which track are you on?!
