2-17-19 – THE LIBERATED HEART: Freeing Yourself from the Past and Breaking the Addiction to Fear, Part III

Today’s Notes:

I – “There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.”
(I John 4:18 – ISV)

II – “Love will never invoke fear. Perfect love expels fear, particularly the fear of punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been completed through love.”
(I John 4:18 – The Voice)

III – “There is no illusion greater than fear.” ― Lao Tzu

IV – “How would your life be different if you learned to let go of things that have already let go of you? From relationships long gone, to old grudges, to regrets, to all the ‘could’ve’ and ‘should’ve,’ to the dead friendships you still hang on to… Free yourself from the burden of a past you cannot change.” – Dr. Steve Maraboli

V -(meme) In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself. — Deepak Chopra

VI – “Free yourself from the poisonous and laborious burden of holding a grudge. When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt, but the two rarely meet. Let go… Sometimes, forgiveness is simply a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on.” ― Dr. Steve Maraboli

VII – “We accept the love we think we deserve.” ― Stephen Chbosky
