The Voice of Fear

Fear tells us to hold on for dear life or else something bad might happen.
Fear tells us to cling to the people we love so that we will not lose them.
Fear tells us not to share what we have or else we might not have enough.
Fear tells us not to spend any money because we might need what we give up.
Fear is the voice that says, “Don’t let go,” but it’s only when we release and free our arms that we’re ready to receive.
It’s not because giving always equals getting–it’s because we generally don’t open ourselves to what might be when we’re cowering in fear, clutching onto what is.
