The Empowered Self Quotes

“Everything we want in life is because we really want the emotion behind the goal. We want to feel accomplished, happy, powerful, and good. So we want the car, the house, the spouse, and the money because we believe they will bring us those emotions. All goals are really emotions disguised as things. And fear is the contrary belief that we either won’t get those things or will lose them once we have them.”

“Most of what we’re afraid of has already happened in some way, shape, or form. What we’re really afraid of is that it’s going to happen again. However, nothing ever repeats itself in life. Only emotion is repetitive. And if you can learn to not fear the emotion behind the event, then you won’t have to fear any event.”
