LOVE & FEARTHE KEYS TO MINDFUL

MOTIVATION

The primary emotions of love and fear are innate to our

survival instinct.

At the primal level, all behavior is motivated by these two emotions.

Love is critical to our development.

Fear alerts us to danger.

Both are conceptual as well, and can be learned and cultivated.

Conceptual fear is not an actual threat . . .
