What You Don’t Give to Love, You Give to Fear: A Life-Changing Perspective
Inspired by A Course in Miracles, this episode explores the profound idea that what you withhold from love is ultimately given to fear. I discuss why this concept matters and how embracing love over fear can reshape your relationships, decisions, and mindset. Learn how to identify when fear is holding you back and how choosing love can lead to a more fulfilling and courageous life.
Here are some practical examples of artists withholding from love and instead giving to fear:
1. Not Sharing Their Work Due to Fear of Judgment
• Example: An artist spends years perfecting a painting, song, or script but never releases it because they fear criticism. Instead of embracing the love of creation and sharing their vision, they let fear keep their art locked away.
2. Choosing Trends Over Authenticity
• Example: A filmmaker has a unique story to tell but chooses to follow mainstream trends out of fear their original idea won’t sell. Instead of creating from love and passion, they operate from fear of financial failure or industry rejection.
3. Perfectionism Leading to Creative Paralysis
• Example: A writer keeps rewriting the same script for years, believing it’s never good enough. Instead of trusting the process and loving the growth that comes with each iteration, they allow fear of imperfection to stall progress.
4. Compromising Vision for Commercial Success
• Example: A musician shifts their style to fit what’s currently popular, despite their heart pulling them in a different direction. Instead of expressing themselves authentically, they let fear of irrelevance dictate their work.
5. Avoiding Risks That Could Lead to Breakthroughs
• Example: A director wants to experiment with a bold new animation technique (e.g., The Arbiters pushing anime forward) but hesitates because no one else is doing it. Fear of failure outweighs the love of innovation.
6. Sabotaging Opportunities Due to Self-Doubt
• Example: A photographer gets an offer to showcase their work in a major gallery but turns it down, convinced they aren’t “ready.” Fear of exposure and potential failure overrides the love of their craft and opportunity.
7. Withholding Praise from Fellow Artists
• Example: A producer sees a peer succeeding but doesn’t acknowledge or celebrate them out of jealousy or insecurity. Instead of supporting and collaborating from a place of love, they let fear of comparison create distance.
