“There are solely two feelings: love and worry. All constructive feelings come from love, all adverse feelings from worry. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and pleasure. From worry comes anger, hate, anxiousness and guilt. It is true that there are solely two main feelings, love and worry. Nevertheless it’s extra correct to say that there’s solely love or worry, for we can’t really feel these two feelings collectively, at precisely the identical time. They’re opposites. If we’re in worry, we’re not in a spot of affection. After we’re in a spot of affection, we can’t be in a spot of worry.” ― Elisabeth Kubler Ros
People are able to a large spectrum of emotions, from happiness and contentment to unhappiness and outrage. Regardless of their complexity and nuance and identical to Kubler-Ros, I too am of the assumption human feelings could also be diminished to 2 fundamental motivations: love or worry.

When motivated by love, we present mercy, understanding, generosity and beauty. After we act out of affection, we wish to construct relationships, perceive others, and enhance the world round us. Love is an all-encompassing feeling that paves the way in which for brand spanking new adventures and fosters a way of group and belonging. There is no such thing as a relationship, romantic, platonic, or in any other case, that does not profit from love.
On the opposite aspect, after we behave from a spot of worry, we achieve this out of fear, inadequacy, and uncertainty. Coming from a spot of worry, our actions are pushed by a must protect ourselves from potential ache. Concern is each a strong motivator and a limiting issue because it prevents us from trying new issues and increasing our horizons.
Love and worry are sturdy feelings, however they’ve vastly various results on folks. Making selections which can be consistent with our values and transfer us nearer to our targets is extra doubtless after we are motivated by love. Emotions of happiness, thankfulness, and contentment usually tend to fill our hearts. Concern may trigger us to make selections that stop us from realizing our best potential. Unfavourable emotions like judgement, rage, resentment, and jealousy are additionally attainable.
So how will we overcome our worry and be taught to behave from a spot of affection as an alternative? Creating a extra introspective and considerate outlook is one choice.

I watched the legislative session in TN yesterday, they’d 3 democratic members who broke decorum guidelines and had been earlier than the committee to be ousted. The 2 black male members had been ousted and the white girl wasn’t. I listened to everybody’s phrases with the intent on asking when every member spoke, are they coming from worry or love. Sadly and overwhelmingly I witnessed what I perceived as worry.
There was a provocative FB submit I posted yesterday, it confirmed a ravishing trans particular person Dylan Mulvaney ingesting a Bud Gentle. A couple of days in the past Child Rock shot up cans of Bud Gentle due to Anheuser Busch teaming with Mulvaney for advertising and marketing. Now there are nation music stars and others talking out and eager to boycott the beer firm. I had just a few family and friends voice out hate and disdain for the soul sister in my submit.
That hate and disdain over my submit was most definitely coming from a spot of worry. Concern from the God they’ve been taught will punish them and others with hell. Concern from people who find themselves totally different than what they’re snug with. I had one member of the family equate trans folks to those that homicide and commit different Biblical sins.
I thank my creator that the worry I used to be raised with has been lifted from my coronary heart and spirit. Maybe sometime, we will all be taught to show away from the worry that creates such divisiveness and hate.
Whether or not our actions are motivated by love or worry is a private choice. Selecting to behave from a spot of affection permits us to craft a life that’s richer in all of the ways in which matter. Inspiring folks to observe in our footsteps can have a domino impact on society and the world at giant. Take into account this: the following time you could make a alternative or confront a problem, ask your self in case your motivation is love or worry. It is attainable that the response will shock you, but it surely is also the important thing to realizing your best potential.
