To live in fear is not to live.

<div class="text-justify"> --- >There are two things in life, two polar opposites: love and fear. Depending on whether we find ourselves on one side or the other, we can either truly live or merely believe we are living. ---  --- Most people in the world are afraid of something, and that is normal and even positive in some cases, because fear can drive people to do things, to overcome them and move forward; but in some cases, fear acts as a barrier to many things, to experiences both good and bad, where in the end the bad things turn out to be good because we learn a lesson from them. But what I mean by the two opposite poles is actually that love is positive and fear is negative, and people can find themselves in one or the other several times along the way. ---  --- I have been afraid of many things: failure, abuse, someone in my family falling ill… many things. And I’ve set myself huge challenges to overcome them, to cross an ocean and prove to myself that I can do it, that I’m strong, to grow in a matter of months what fear had prevented me from growing over years. I set this for myself because I no longer wanted to live in that self-destructive way; I wanted to turn my life around completely and took many leaps of faith, sometimes without a plan B. There are so many things people don’t do out of fear, and just as many where people spend every day of their lives trapped in a huge bubble of fear, creating a vicious circle, often because the circumstances or environment aren’t favourable. That used to happen to me, and what I did was change my environment and my way of thinking. ---  --- Bearing in mind that there are only two alternatives, love and fear, and that within fear lies everything negative, that is when we need to pause for a moment in life and decide what it is we are seeking, where our thoughts are directed, because they will then create our reality for us. If we live in fear, we are not living; that is not living. Living is love, it is positivity, enjoying life, being free, acknowledging reality and taking a brush to create our own reality based on what we think and do. Thought without action is nothing, but thoughts are powerful. ---  --- If we focus on a fear as common as dying or think too much about that subject, we are wasting the time we have to live. We all leave this world; we are only here for a time, but if we spend that time thinking about how we are going to die or on the fear we have of it, we are wasting that time and we are in the negative realm. --- <center>  </center> --- I always remember something I learnt: the more I focus on or think about something, the more I attract it, and the faster it comes. That’s why I think about life, nature, my cats, the people I love, the joy of the moment, and the simple, beautiful things, so that all of this may multiply. The rest will come when it’s meant to, and however it comes; I prefer to focus on painting life in colours and feeling that life within me so that it multiplies.
