Gandhi was a Rockstar

What holds us back from making change and allowing growth?  FEAR.
Gandhi said "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear."

Turtle Island, Bali
It makes so much sense!  If we are not afraid we have no reason to hate.  All hate comes from fear. 
Fear that we will not be liked, fear that someone will leave us, fear that someone will take our job, fear that we're not good enough... all these fears create jealousy, greed, hate. 

If we feel jealousy or resentment it's often because we want something that person has.  Jealousy can be useful as a sign we want to change.  When we recognise the fear, remove it and look at successful people with admiration, not resentment, it works to our advantage.  Once fear is removed we can genuinely be happy for someone else and it in turn brings us happiness.
And what might that happiness spark in us?  We just might get into action and go about creating for ourselves what we are admiring in the person we were once hating on.  That is part of how I got here.

Gandi was a rockstar... but so are you!
