Fear

For your consideration…

We have had several messages lately referencing fear. For some reason, some of us are not getting it or have not received these messages because today we have another one. Specifically, we are told that most of the time, “Fear is an illusion based on our beliefs we have cultured that may or may not be true.”

Think about it. How often do we spend time drilling down and verifying what is true. My guess would be hardly ever. We quickly gather what we know, think we know, and adopt an opinion. Then over time, we accept that it can only be true and it grows. The more we dwell on it, the more we believe it and the more entrenched our fear becomes.

We are reminded that it is ok to be scared. But it is not ok to stay scared and let it paralyze us. When we notice we are scared, we are asked to remind ourselves that it is an illusion and summon up our courage to face it and let it go.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Remember…You are the keeper of your light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Summon the courage to face our fear and let it go.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day.

-A fun cooking class.

-I found a new gym that is great.

-A good book.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
