Fear doesn’t allow us to see the perfection of ourselves and in life. Fear causes us to judge what is rather than embrace it, accept it and love it. Love allows us to transcend judgment and fear. When we open our heart to that sense of perfection the world becomes an entirely different place. It is such a gift and we are so often incredibly resistant to letting go of our perspective. <\/p>\n

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? If we are honest with ourselves our answer is right more often than happy. It is so easy to forget that everything in life, all of our emotions are dependent on our perspective and our perspective is not necessarily the truth, If ten people watch a crime there are ten different versions of what happened.<\/p>\n


\nSo do you want to be right or to be happy? Are you willing to open your heart and try to see the perfection in everything? Are you willing to see things differently? Are you willing to see the love of God and the wings of the angels everywhere including in the things that you think are bad and wrong? Are you willing to love even that which you think is unlovable?<\/p>\n

When we do that we get to see the world as God does. We get to be free and have the opportunity to vastly improve the quality of our lives. Judgment deepens our sense of separation which only causes more fear.<\/p>\n

What is it you want to give birth to in the next moment? Embrace love, release your judgments and watch what happens.<\/p>\n
