Video clip synopsis:
A fearless life isn't a life in which a person walks through whatever happens with no concern or care for what's taking place. A fearless life is a life in which the individual understands that everything that's taking place serves something greater than whatever reaction he or she is having to the event.
If you think about the most beautiful moments you've had in your life -- whether a special experience in nature or you were with another person sharing in a special moment -- whatever the event, if you bring fear into it, it ruins everything.
We would never invite someone into our home who throws trash everywhere, steals the silverware, and before leaving, torches the place. That's what happens when we invite fear into our lives. Only we don't realize that we actually invite fear into our lives. If we did, we would never agree to develop a relationship with what ruins ALL of our relationships. Fear spoils whatever it touches -- especially when it comes to a relationship between two human beings.
What you experience in any given moment -- for the good or bad of it -- is determined by your understanding of the moment. This means fearlessness is a relationship born out of my recognition that in every given moment, I am being given exactly what I need to discover the truth about myself and the life I've been given.
The real fearless life is understanding that I'm being given everything I need to see and understand myself so thoroughly, that instead of being used by the events around me, I'm able to become one with them. In that very action I find a life that doesn't have fear in it because I'm no longer outside of life looking for something to become fearless through.
