(Great fears are barriers to experiencing your real life.)


The ego loves fear. Thrives on it. Gives it meaning and purpose. Having no substance of its own, the ego must mine its ‘juice’ from the outside. And since it knows that anything on the outside can be denied in an instant, it fears.

It is easy to recognize the ego’s fear of being left out. And it’s pretty easy to resolve. Perhaps you already have.

It is most evident during our younger years. Before we have a sense of who we are. Still needing to define ourselves by fitting in.

Usually, becoming aware of it is enough to resolve it. Sometimes we may need to do a little internal processing to let it go.

Being left out of a relationship/group/investment simply means it isn’t for us. Not the right people, or the right time, or something else. Trust the universe instead of trying to force an outcome. Let it go.

Coaching Point: Do you see it is the ego that has this fear, not you?
