“That is why humans resist life. To be alive is the biggest fear humans have.
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.
Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans. We have learned to live our lives trying to satisfy other people’s demands.
We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.”
~ DON MIGUEL RUIZ from "The Four Agreements"
Not living in the moment due to fear of the future stops people from identifying who they are.
I know right!
