Want to Change the World? Own Up to Your Fear

It's essential that anyone committed to a path of enlightened partnership is also committed to his or her own emotional healing and purification. If not, unconscious fears will start running the show.The tipping point for successful co-creation is the ability to maintain a state of caring and affinity, especially during difficult times or upsets. What could undermine your ability to do this? The answer is clear. It is fear. Fear of being hurt, again. Fear of being used. Fear of being judged. Fear of losing. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear of being wrong. Fear of losing respect. The fear can be so big that it clouds your good judgment.f you want to stay on a path of cooperation, collaboration and co-creation you have to find the courage to stand up to your own inner demons. If you don’t, the chances you will have the “intestinal fortitude” to stand up to the big demons in the outer world are pretty slim. Making the world a better place is especially challenging for the half-learned because there is usually such a wide gap between their ideals and the reality of their life. It is important for those who step on the path to be committed to fully learning to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. We think that is what Gandhi meant by “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Contributing to the conscious evolution of our world is a heroic path requiring courage and impeccable self-honesty. It’s not going to happen if people simply mouth the words of co-creation but are unable or unwilling to employ the necessary skills.Some people say they want to help make the world a better place. Many believe they can. Are you such a person? If so, be sure you tend to the place in you that undermines your ability to maintain an open heart and mind during times of dissonance. Identify your fears, and learn to calm yourself in times of stress so that the fear doesn't overtake your nobler impulse to love.
