What Would You Do if You Knew You Would Not Fail

An excerpt from "Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach Us About the Mysteries of Life and Living" by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler


When You Don't Choose Love, You Choose Fear
"If we could literally reach into you and remove all your fears - every one of them - how different would your life be? Think about it. If nothing stopped you from following your dreams, your life would probably be very different. This is what the dying learn. Dying makes our worst fears come forward to be faced directly. It helps us see the different life that is possible, and in that vision, takes the rest of our fears away.
Unfortunately, by the time the fear is gone most of us are too sick or too old to do those things we would have done before, had we not been afraid. […] Thus, one lesson becomes clear: we must transcend our fears while we can still do those things we dream of.
To transcend fear though, we must move somewhere else emotionally; we must move into love."
