Emotional Intelligence 101: Taming the Beast Within!: Love is letting go of Fear

Day 11 of 100: Love is a Decision.

Yesterday we talked about Love or Fear, Take your Pick. Well, it turns out that there are whole schools of personal growth who believe that there are ONLY 2 emotions: Love and Fear.

One of the books that helped change my life was Gerald Jampolsky's "LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR". This book described in a simple, 12-step process, how to "Let Go" of both long-term and current Fears, in an effort to expand our ability to Love. He has some other powerful books, too, so click the link at Amazon and read on...

If Depression is based on Anger, and Anger is based on Fear, that means most negative feelings are Fear-based (except Sadness, which I'm not sure about -- ideas?).

So, what if there really were only 2 feelings? What if ALL negativism is based on Fear?

Seems to me, we had better get a HANDLE on our Fears, wouldn't you say??

COOL NOTE I JUST READ: "Young children possess what Zen calls ‘beginner’s mind.’ They are awed and fascinated with the wonder of the world, open to discovering and experiencing new things. Anything is possible. Life is a great adventure."

How's your ability to "let your little child out to play"?
