It has been said that fear and love are the basic motivating forces that drive us through the journey of life.
Fear prevents us from throwing caution to the wind, going for those things our heart desire and miss out on joys in life.
I’ve been plagued with a fear of vehicles since I have lost many friends to vehicle accidents in my lifetime, starting when I was very young. Although I have made great strides in conquering that phobia, it has kept me from enjoying many of the pleasures that life has to offer. That fear manifested itself into very anti-sociable behavior that has sometimes presented me with problems.
Fear produces a vicious cycle of behaviors that feed off of each other and motivates in a negative way.
On the other hand, the power of love makes us fearless, making a human being struck by love feel as if all possibilities in life are possible with much passion and excitement. In the movie “Titanic,” Jack felt he was the king of the world.
The lyrics of a song recorded by Celine Dion, “Have You Ever Been In Love” describe that feeling of walking on clouds, floating on air and a silly smile that nothing can wipe off of your face. That is the feeling of being in love that is magically amazing.
Here are some of those lyrics . . .
“Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart is shooting stars
You’re holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been in love?
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart is shooting stars
You’re holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been in love?
The time I spent waiting for something
That was heaven sent
When you find it don’t let go
I know . . .”
That was heaven sent
When you find it don’t let go
I know . . .”
Have you ever been that in love with someone?
Did it make you fearless?
My answer is yes . . . and it is like magic!
If you have it . . . don’t let it go!
I'm still waiting!
I'm still waiting!
