afraid

Caine has Drake and Orc, Panda and Chaz, and I hear Mallet has made peace with him. And maybe a half dozen other guys.___re you afraid of them?_ Astrid asked him.__eah, Astrid, I am.___kay,_ she said. __ut you were scared of going into a burning building, too.___ou don__ get this, do you?_ Sam demanded with enough heat that Astrid took a step back. __ know what you want, okay? I know what you and a bunch of other people want. You want me to be the anti-Caine. You don__ like the way he__ doing things and you want me to go kick him out. Well, here__ what you don__ know: even if I could do all that, I wouldn__ be any better than him.___ou__e wrong about that, Sam. You__e____hat night when I first used the power? When I hurt my stepfather? How do you think I felt?___ad. Regretful._ Astrid looked at his face like the answer would be written there. __cared, probably.___eah. All that. And one more thing._ He held up his hand and inches from her nose squeezed his fingers into a tight fist. __ also felt a rush, Astrid. A rush. I thought, oh my God, look at the power I have. Look what I can do. A huge, crazy rush.___ower corrupts,_ Astrid said softly.__eah,_ Sam said sarcastically. ____e heard that.___ower corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I forget who said it.___ make a lot of mistakes, Astrid. I don__ want to make that mistake. I don__ want to be that guy. I don__ want to be Caine. I want to_ He spread his arms wide, a gesture of helplessness. __ just want to go surfing.___ou won__ be corrupted, Sam. You wouldn__ do those things._ He had moved back. She moved to close the distance.__ow can you be so sure?___ell, two reasons. First, it__ not your character. Of course you felt a rush from the power. Then, you pushed it away. You didn__ grab at it, you pushed it away. That__ reason number one. You__e you, you__e not Caine or Drake or Orc.__am wanted to agree, wanted to accept that, but he felt he knew better. __on__ be so sure.___nd reason number two: you have me,

Nobody can turn you into a slave unless you allow them. Nobody can make you afraid of anything, unless you allow them. Nobody can tell you to do something wrong, unless you allow them. God never created you to be a slave, man did. God never created division or set up any borders between brothers, man did. God never told you hurt or kill another, man did. So why is man your god, and not the Creator?

I have always been afraid... Always been pretending to follow you closely, alwyas been pretending to sharpen my teeth, when the truth is, I am ... scared to death just treading on your shadow.

Stay strong; disappointments will not stay for that long. Wipe away your tears; be ready to receive cheers from people all over the world, beginning from you!

Colour outside the lines, live outside the box. Don__ let anyone tell you what to do, or not. Don__ be afraid, listen to your heart. Heaven is a state of being _ of one-ness, and Hell is a state of being _ lost. We simply need to live as we best define ourselves, find our own ways of being who we are in our world. There is no requirement - only freedom of choice. We should not be judged if we are doing what we think best according to our perceptions at any given time. Guilt should be discarded, moved beyond - what matters is who we choose to be in the next moment, given what we might have learned. We continually create ourselves anew. Forgiving someone is a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto far too long. Take back the energy you have wasted on these things and reclaim your power to be your next best self. Honour the past but refresh, expand, renew, fulfill. Heaven is within us, always reachable.

I__e married a man who is so afraid of living, he__ rather destroy the very thing that makes him feel alive.

They__e scared of the other kind of love. The one which lacks hurt, but pains after awhile.

All that is left to bring you pain, are the memories. If you face those, you__l be free. You can__ spend the rest of your life hiding from yourself; always afraid that your memories will incapacitate you, and they will if you continue to bury them.

Rather than the one who gets angry, the world is more afraid of the one who does not get angry. Why? When anger ceases, grandeur of authority (pratap) arises. Such is the law of nature. Otherwise there would never be any protection for those who don't get angry. Anger provides protection during one__ conduct in ignorance of the self.

If anger-pride-deceit-greed occur, let them occur. There is nothing wrong if you have thoughts of bad conduct, do not be afraid, however, you must repent (do pratikraman) and turn it around, this will result in a high level of dharmadhyan [auspicious contemplation] .

I used to be afraid about what people might say or think after reading what I had written. I am not afraid anymore, because when I write, I am not trying to prove anything to anyone, I am just expressing myself and my opinions. It__ ok if my opinions are different from those of the reader, each of us can have his own opinions. So writing is like talking, if you are afraid of writing, you may end up being afraid of talking

Leaders don't fall in gutters of fear; only negative ideas flow in that canal. There, you will see filthy things like doubts and disbelief.

Leaders scan the future so it can be free of doubts and fear. They do so by not living a double standard life in the present.

A leader who sows confidence will reap excellency and legacy. A leader who sows fear will reap stagnancy or complacency.

Fear punches holes in your eyes so that you don't see the future clearly. Faith enlarges your vision to behold your destiny.

Leaders do not play a "what if game". They believe it will be and work it to be! Success is scarce because fear is common.

Don__ let the horrible nature of the waters prevent you from crossing the rivers of life. The more horrible the challenges we face, the sweeter the joy of conquering them.

Don__ be afraid anymore. Not of anyone. Not of anything. Nothing. Ever again. Listen to me: not ever again.
