There are two universal emotions in each of us, one is love, the force that unifies and integrates everything and the other one is fear, the emotion that stops and destroys everything.

“The need for approval, the need to control things,
the need for extreme power are needs based on fear.”

Deepak Chopra

For me, fear is like anesthesia, it paralyzes us and leave us without a possibility of response. I would like to present to you some of the roles that fear plays: anxiety, guilt, hate, anger, arrogance, rejection, suffering, comparison, competition; no matter what we choose, they are all cages that oxidize as years go by.

I believe that fear has two sides: the one based on faith and the other one based on uncertainty. The one based on faith impels you in a magical way, despite the fear that’s rooted within you, it still fills you with the strength to fullfill what you are intended to be. The other side of fear, based on uncertainty, stalls you emotionally, physically and mentally, takes you to the past and then a milestone to the future, empties your hands of what you have planned and those dreams you had are left in illusions that we give to the future with a label that says: “maybe one of this days.”

I was so afraid of realizing my life’s mission and despite having it clear, I postponed it and listened to that voice that whispered to me saying: it’s not time yet, wait until the divine law knocks at your door, and if that doesn’t happen, maybe it wasn’t meant to be; that voice is called inner fear with the role of anxiety, and transported me to that uncertain future that filled me with terror and tormented my days.

It wasn’t until I was willing that I decided to fill myself with strength and to jump no matter where I fall, I threw myself with just one life-saver: believe in myself, and today, I’m planting the seeds of my life project and you are here as a witness of the materialization of it, becoming my most precious harvest, and for this, I thank you and bless you every day.

We are all covered by fear and hear it’s constant callings with the word not as a first base: it’s not possible, it’s not easy, don’t try, you are not capable, you don’t deserve it, and it happens to us in every chapter of our life: love, couple, family, work and we make it our best friend, partner and ally who accompanies us in good times and in the bad ones becomes an expert.

I believe it’s time, time that your children, your family, your work, your economy and even yourself, be no longer the excuse for not doing what you don’t really feel with the guts to do, because life couldn’t gave you the deserved attention; that’s a lie, you’re only afraid, afraid to fail, to live, to dream, to love, to take a risk, to be happy; that’s why I think it’s time, time to take life by the hand and walk beside it, and don’t allow that for fear you become the witness of how life happens in front of you, while you remain seated.

All my love and gratitude for you,
Shary ChavLó.
