Of all the liars in the world,
sometimes the worst
are your fears."

Rudyard Kipling

Most learn what to fear in childhood and soon it becomes a habit that just takes over. Most of what you learned to fear is no longer true. The fear is not out in life: it is inside you. Take the risk to look for and find the fear. Only when you stop responding to the fear can you make happy choices.

"How much pain
they have cost us,
the evils which
have never happened."

Thomas Jefferson

When stress is all that your physical body is feeling, feeling happy is impossible. Stress prepares you to run or fight. Stress makes it increasingly hard for you to find pleasure in doing things. Eliminating stress makes room for positive emotions to sneak in and flourish -- starting with happiness.

Are you afraid to be happy? Some people are afraid it won't last or won't happen. Fear handcuffs happiness. Let go of your fears. Only when you are able to let go of your fears can you truly be happy.

"Where the fear is,
happiness is not."

Seneca

"We love to the
degree we're happy.

While we are unhappy
and attending to our fears,
we are not loving.

The self is always crying out
for acceptance.

When we deny it that acceptance,
things get hairy.

Our attention gets sucked into
a void inside ourselves,
leaving nothing left to
give to another."

Jennifer Hautman

"Happiness is a form of courage."

-Holbrook Jackson

"If fear alters behavior,

we are living our fears."

power of the soul."

to search was within."

Ramona L. Anderson

brings YOU the most meaning

for those who are afraid,
lonely or unhappy is to go outside,

amidst the simple beauty of nature."

EFT helps heal physical symptoms too."
