The only real fear is the fear that we can have everything we want.

Did you know this?

I have heard different people say it in various ways, but it was only a week or so ago that I felt it, that the truth of it made my cells feel spritely.

We are told by our parents and society from early on that we ask too much, that we can’t have all we want. That’s what they were told too.

But until we know that we are supported in creating our desires, and we live from this knowing, we will feel in bondage. No amount of money or stuff will ever give us a sense of freedom, until we become okay with this.  The difference between people who have money and are generous and not greedy, and the people who are hyper protective and fear losing what they have, is whether or not they believe they can have more and know there isn’t a limited amount and someone wants to take what they have.

It’s the difference between looking where you’re going, and watching your feet? Would you want a windshield in the floorboard of your car?

If you are scared to look ahead, at your destination, the you probably won’t get there. At least not without a lot of wrong turns.

Have you ever thought “oh it would be nice to have such and such” and then forgot about, only to have it show up the next day?  Or have you thought I would like to have a certain kind of car, and then you start seeing them everywhere?

Pretty cool huh?

It seems scary to allow ourselves to have we want. We think, “then what about the people who don’t already have as much as me? Or if I get all I want, how will that affect others, how will they get what they want?”

But just because one side of the planet has sun for 12 hours, does that mean there isn’t going to be any left for the other side of the planet?

If the west coast gets rain, does that mean there isn’t any left for the east coast?

When we start thinking of it this way then we remember we are not in charge of evening things out. We certainly have no control over what others have, and whether or not they are happy. So what if we just started paying attention to what we want?

If we allow ourselves to have all we want, isn’t it more likely we will be able to give and help others who we are inspired to help?

So what if the crux of every fear we have is the fear of having everything we want? How would knowing that change how you feel today?
