Also, I meant to add, I am shocked by the attitudes your husband encounters. He must be a very old soul to approach his work as he does. Please tell him he has a fan in cyberland. Me!

There’s no need to be a parent to understand this column. Everytime anyone goes outside and gets in a car, there are a million
things that can go wrong. Do you sit inside and worry about “what if I get hurt, robbed, sick ect., or do you get on with your life?
You don’t even have to go outside – you could worry about every bite of food (is it toxic) about falling in the shower. It’s endless. Do you worry, or just live?

Thank you for a beautiful post. Fear is corrosive, and we all need to be reminded of these truths daily. All the best.

Pam, I’m saddened by the fact that your husband still faces such racism and discrimination, but I deeply admire him for rising above it and living with dignity and integrity.

Re: Pat’s comment. If most of your adult life is alone by choice, then more power to you. If not, then the designation of fear vs. love could be very relevant.

I don’t think it takes a parent to understand the benefits of living a fear-based life vs. a love based one. Even when it comes down to telling the truth. Speaking the truth in love is key. Truth provides the content, love provides the packaging. I think these types of truth’s are independent of being a parent or not. If you look at this post and think “What is she talking about?” odds are you’re living a shallow life or an unexamined one. Of course, there’s value in that type of life as well but trying to invalidate what’s being said here just comes across as poor fight against a proven philosophy.

Right On Pamela! I think this is such a key distinction in how we walk through our life and a very simply but powerful tool to use when we are facing decisions or crossroads. Most of the work that I do with my busy overwhelmed clients is about moving them from a fear place to one of openness and possibility – which you can certainly call love.

With respect, I think this approach to life is something that is specific to parents. I’m not a parent, and a lot of this content makes me think “huh? what is she talking about?” Maybe it’s simply the product of living most of my adult life alone, but the only things I fear are things that might hurt me personally, and love is not something that has any particular relevance to my life. I aspire to contentment, and achieve it most days.
