“We are vulnerable to fear only when we leave the present. If I drift into the past, my regrets surge up, my memories of failing and forsaking. If I shift into the future, I meet with doubt and delusion, fear of what's to come, what I'm not capable of controlling. It's in the present moment that I belong.” IfsMomentsPastFearMemoriesDoubtFailingRegretFutureCapableVulnerableDelusionPresent Moment Author:Jan Phillips
“Each precious moment of your life in which you are frozen with fear is a moment when you are not being all you can be. In the end, that hurts more than anything. Succeeding or failing does not determine if we are surviving or living. Rather it is in our ability to reach beyond our present self-imposed definition of who we are, and to risk becoming more, that we are able to feel fully alive.” IfsFeelsDoeEndsSelfMomentsAbleFearHurtAbilityAliveFailingRiskBecomingSucceedDefinitionsDetermineWho We AreFrozenSurvivingBecoming MorePrecious Moments Book:Fearless Living: Live Without Excuses and Love Without Regret Source: Fearless Living: Live Without Excuses and Love Without Regret
