At the root of our need to control we find fear…And as our efforts to control
other people and events invariably fail, our fear increases. Trust, on the other
hand, is a quality of the soul. While control is a tool of the mind, trust and

for control, we can relax and open to the flow of energy in our lives. This
brings peace of mind. ~ The Daily Guru

No one ever tells us to stop running away from fear…the advice we usually
get is to sweeten it up, smooth it over, take a pill, or distract ourselves, but by
all means make it go away. ~Pema Chodron

circulates no longer. ~Dane Rudhyar
Each precious moment of your life in which you are frozen with fear is a
moment when you are not being all you can be. In the end, that hurts more

living. Rather it is in our ability to reach beyond our present self-imposed
definition of who we are, and to risk becoming more, that we are able to feel
fully alive. ~Rhonda Britten
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the

being good enough for someone else. ~Don Miguel Ruiz

others. ~Marianne Williamson
