• “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~ Marianne Williamson from "A Return To Love"

“Heroes aren’t born,

they are cornered.”

Don’t you get tired of people whining about age?

“I’m too old.”
“I can’t, I’m over (put an age here).”
“You know how it is when you get over (age).”

OCH! STOP!

If YOU feel stuck, then just be stuck by yourself! Don’t dump that on me or anyone else, thank you!!

The recent Dara Torres Olympic body-and-mind-of-a-winner shows that we/people/women can do a lot more with our bodies and health . . . if we are willing to do the work.

She’s not alone of course. There are plenty of people out there up into their 90s who are skiing, swimming, hiking and still jogging.

Okay, I can hear it now, “I’d be like Torres too IF I had the money and the trainers, and, and, and.”

STOP!

DO THIS

1) Change your mind right now about what you want and what you believe is true.

2) Create a plan to make the changes you want.

3) You don’t need to look like or compete in anything like Torres or anyone else. Define what is right for you and GO DO IT!  

4) At the very least, if you’re not going to do the above 3 steps, then just stop whining! Every time you say “I can’t because…” you’re solidifying that for yourself. And, your influencing children and others in that negative direction.

If you think you can’t, you can’t. Fine. But, keep it to yourself!

“Never put age limits on your dreams.”
~ Dara Torres

What fears are stopping you from your best life?

What fears are keeping our countries and peoples from working together for peace?

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” ~ Marie Curie

I looooove quotations. There’s so much packed into just a few words.

This series is on fear. Fear is our greatest enemy, always has been, always will be.

There are 2 places we can be, two ends of a spectrum of feelings.

FEAR ____________or_____________PEACE

Some say, “fear or love, not peace” but what I know is that there are only a handful of humans that have ever known, or now know what pure unconditional love is.  But, we each have experienced peace from time to time. We know what that feels like.

Check yourself daily to “feel” which way you are leaning. If towards fear, about anything, get back to peace ASAP. This act alone helps shift the collective consciousness towards peace. This act alone makes all the difference in the world in your mind and body, for the world around you and everyone else.

Bertrand Russell:
Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

Bob Dylan:
I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me. I know some people are terrified of the bomb. But then some people are terrified to be seen carrying a modern screen magazine. Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.

Bonaro W. Overstreet:
Perhaps the most important thing we can undertake toward the reduction of fear is to make it easier for people to accept themselves, to like themselves.

Chet Atkins:
Everything I’ve ever done was out of fear of being mediocre.

Don Miguel Ruiz:
Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Dorothy Thompson:
- Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
- The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness.
- Fear grows in darkness; if you think there’s a bogeyman around, turn on the light.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
You must do the things you think you cannot do.

Marianne Williamson:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Marilyn Ferguson:
Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom.

Choose peace. No matter what.

“There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal
to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze
the causes of happenings.”
~ Dorothy Thompson

Hi and welcome to HAL; Humans Are Lame!

There are millions of examples everyday reminding us that we’re not the sharpest pencil in the box. Obesity, war, famine, abuse, debt (personal and governmental), oil crisis, self-inflicted illness (smoking, drinking, eating), tabloid scandals and scandals made by tabloids, greed, relationships in crises, our education system tarnished or low on the “best of education” lists, murder, rape, robberies, lack of government support, lying government officials,  our country and our world spiralling out of control.

There’s plenty more, but how depressing!

This blog is a place where raising our collective consciousness, one reader at a time, is the goal.

Where issues will be discussed and solutions offered.

Where I get to rant about things that make no sense to me might be the same things that make you mad too.

Please, I want you to jump in too. Add your views, ideas and solutions in the Comments section.

The only way out is through. We’re not going to make it “through” this at the rate we’re going. We’re already way behind the 8 ball. But, maybe, just maybe, with our collective consciousness raised even 1%, we can shift what is to what can be.

Come back again as I begin my support for you and me and the planet to shift and transform, one issue at a time.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
~ Margaret Mead
US anthropologist & popularizer of anthropology (1901 - 1978)
