Brain Quote of the Week

I stumbled onto this great book in which this quote stuck with me regarding relationships

"The power of love is found most in its triumph over fear. Where fear prevails, love is not. Given the ubiquity of fear, the move to love is a considerable challenge. Only those who can face their fears, live with ambiguity and ambivalence, can find that personal empowerment which then makes possible love of the Other."

Above quote taken from the book "The Eden Project. In search of the Magical Other" page 73 by author James Hollis P.H.D 

I am no relationship expert but what I gather from the text above is that fear traps us in our past conditioning which makes relationships with anyone, including our significant other, very difficult. Letting go of those fears allows us to shut down the voice in our heads keeping us captured in our old way of thinking and be better connected to the ones we love.

But then—all of the sudden—you’re hit with a case of the “what-ifs.” What if I’m not good enough? What if I fail miserably? What if my food truck catches fire for a number of crazy reasons? And suddenly, that dream gets placed into the far corners of your mind, right next to your forgotten New Year’s resolutions and that guitar you swore you'd learn to play. Paulo Coelho, in his bestselling novel *The Alchemist*, drops a truth bomb that’s simple, bu...

                              Photo by  EUNJOON PARK   Why Being Famous Isn’t All That Important (And Why You’re Probably Better Off Without It) Let’s be honest: most of us have, at some point, fantasized about being famous. Maybe you pictured yourself winning an Oscar, an Emmy, performing in a sold-out stadium, or having your name trend on social media (for a good reason, of course). Fame seems like the ultimate golden ticket over bright lights—attention, admiration, and an endless stream of opportunities. But, as glamorous as it looks, being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, you might be better off staying comfortably under the radar.
