And then from desire, fear is born.                     Fear comes from a space of lack. Of feeling that you have been short-changed when the universe was granting wishes, gifts and abundance to each one of us. Fear comes from lack of self-worth, from not feeling loved, wanted, worthy, as capable as everyone else.           And then to overcome the fears, we desire something more.           We manipulate the laws of attraction, the truth about manifestation, we walk into the world of incantations, spells, ego-based goals, fear-based astrology, potions, witchery, endless hours of prayer, and transactional deals with the divine to absolve us of our sins.           We focus on our desires, getting attached to the outcome - only that one outcome, not realising that the only prayer that ever be is the prayer of gratitude. Of having an unquestionable acceptance of the present situation and being grateful for everything in our life, everything.           As we focus on a life other than what we have, we lay the foundation of frustration and failure along the way.           And then, one day, one of our desires does become reality. You do find the love you had yearned for, you do get the pot of gold you had wished for, you do find the job and the designation you had so wanted.           Fear led us to the desires and now having manifested the desire, we are led to fear again.           Of losing what we have. The fear of losing the love, the fear of losing the money, the fear of losing the job. We become possessive in a relationship, manipulative in the job, miserly in our love for others.           And to offset these fears again, we have new desires thus starting the never-ending vicious loop of desire and fear, fear and desire.           Free yourself from the attachments and of outsourcing your happiness to anyone or anything out of you. When you are unafraid of loneliness, you will not be consumed by the pursuit of love. When you truly accept that there is abundance in your life, you yearn for no more. When you are totally in acceptance of the present moment, you kill desire itself. You desire nothing. There is nothing to lose, nothing to protect, nothing to possess.           The only desire then is to discover the riches within you and use them to overcome all of your fears, and become love.                 One moment can change an entire lifetime. An entire life can be worth one moment.                     It takes a lifetime to transform but life transforms in a moment. It may take a lifetime to get to that moment though.           It takes one tiny step in the direction of your path to profoundly change your life forever. It takes one moment of courage to overcome all your life's fears and walk on to the other side of it. One tiny spark of hope that sets into motion the beginning of an unreasonable, extraordinary life. One little yes or a no that can make you step over generations of limiting beliefs and trauma and put you in the sight of light. It takes one moment of awareness to recognise the pattern that's been holding you back in your relationships and show up as your most authentic self. It takes one little miracle for trust, belief and love to reignite in you and surrender to the universe. It takes one nod from your intuition to give you the confidence to show up for yourself.           One day you will look back at your life and notice how every tiny action mattered. How each small step egged you forward, how it all came together and how everything meant something.           When you read that book. When you accepted that offer. When you woke up for that run at 4am while the world was sleeping. When you signed up for a transformation program. When you allowed your ego to be mauled and maimed. When you let go of the anger, the prejudice and the ill will against your partner. When you quit your job to start your own venture. That moment when you took a job and stepped out of the family business.           It all mattered. It all matters. Everything that you do matters. And when you believe that every little thing you do matters, your life changes in that instant.           That a-ha moment when you realise what's been pinning you to your past. That nanosecond when a childhood memory that you have been holding on to loses its hold on you.           In the blink of an eye, you decide to drop the baggage and move on to a new life with a spring in your step.           That penny drop moment when everything comes into your awareness, crystal clear, with a lightness in your heart. It's that microsecond when you realise that those who you trust are not really those who wish to see you succeed.           It takes one moment. That one pivotal moment in time when you realise that life will never be the same. It's that split second when you become aware of the trigger for all your fears.           That one moment is worth a lifetime.           And what you create after is an entire lifetime worthy of that one moment of pure, unadulterated joy.           That one moment of unbridled happiness that you would not exchange for anything in the universe. That one second when the only thing that matters is you and the magic you realise you are capable of creating.       Our upcoming retreats                         Andretta Registrations Open 16th to 22th March     To reconnect to your inner child at a beautiful hillside retreat with 14+ soulful individuals will make this a life-transforming experience.
