Early in my yoga teaching career, when I owned studios in Florida and was terrified of getting it wrong —
my mother looked at me and said:
“Never make decisions out of fear. You are a woman of great faith, not fear.”
I didn’t fully understand it then.
I understand it now.
Fear and faith are not opposites.
They are orientations.
Two entirely different places from which you can live the same life, make the same choice, face the same unknown.
The yoga tradition has been teaching this for thousands of years.
Patanjali named it.
The Gita mapped it.
Your nervous system already knows the difference — you just have to learn to listen.
