| 'I feel lost in a big world'.
That's the message a good friend texted me last week. And he is not the chronic depressed type, he is very successful, both in his professional AND personal life.
And yet, his message didn't surprise me.
Aren't all of us feeling lost now and then? Perhaps some hide it better than others...
7 billion people on this planet... with their problems... with their worries... with their anxieties... and no guidebook.
So we're making up our own survival system. A survival system to keep up in the world we considerate often as cold, tough, hard,...
While all we want at the end of the day, each one of us, is to feel loved... to feel appreciated... to feel nurtured... to share our love... to express our appreciation... to care...
It takes courage to open your heart to a world we often consider hostile, it takes bravery to be kind to an unkind person,...
That's why I wanted to share my all time favorite quote by a man I deeply admire, Chögyam Trungpa: “Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.”
Once you train yourself to leave your anxious thoughts behind, to look beyond the fear that is driving each one of us, then you are in a powerful and loving place.
Your life starts to shift in a very positive way...
Sending you love, Barbara.
