How fear from the past keeps us small

 We have oftentimes seen that there are people who are afraid of taking any kind of risk in their lives.They stay at low paying jobs which don't fulfill them, stay in abusive relationships and never start their own initiatives/businesses even if they have the requisite skills.

They hold onto security and trade it for new experiences.They live in fear of losing what they have if they chase what they can have.They also have abundance blocks at times and feel unworthy of bigger and better things.

They live mired in fear and see life pass by them.

The fear stems from previous losses and hardships in life.

The way out is to acknowledge the past but not be a slave to it.

Why we repeat same patterns in all relationships

The first meeting Fleeting glances Smiles and laughter Diner dates Walks on the beach Commitment Moving in together Disagreements Non-matching intimacy requirements Fights Explosive fights Quest for peace Breakup Zen meditation class Temporary peace Same patterns in next relationship(s) This is how relationships typically pan out and thereafter one wonders why each of my relationships followed the same course-same type of partner, same reasons for incompatibility ,same kinds of endings. The answer to this lies in wiring in childhood. In our development phases as children, we observe our immediate caregivers and our parents marriage is the first model for what a marriage looks like. What also matters is the quality of our relationship with opposite sex parent-it models our subsequent interactions with members of the opposite sex. If our opposite sex parent was abusive, we wow to ourselves never to be with someone like that. However, if we look back at our relat...

Social Media Addiction and cure
