Fear This!

Good morning to all of you. Been a few days since I have posted anything. Just one of those "schedule conflicts" I have had. I wanted to bring something to the table I know many of us struggle with in our lives and I have been having trouble within mine lately. That is....... overcoming fear.

I am speaking from getting out of your comfort zone, to managing a past issue either from and experience in a relationship or in general life, to just doing something irrational and new for you. I have always thought a person is only as strong or weak as his or her mind. If our mind is incapacitated with fears and doubts, we are paralysed. But, if the mind is strengthened with faith and convictions, we are capable of achieving miracles! I was cleaning out my desk the other day and I come across a passage I use to have posted where I utilized it as a daily reminder for myself. How it fell into the drawer I am not sure. From 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 the passage reads:

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

I feel those words ring so true in our lives today. To help support that cognitively and more importantly with myself, we as a society need to reestablish positive thinking and begin to generate positive attitudes, responses and feelings, which in turn draw the blue print for our success. On the other hand, negative attitudes, full of fear, doubt and worry, reinforce negative behaviour. But we can empty our mind of such thoughts and feed them with positive information. Replace fear with faith, doubt with determination, worry with work and hate with love.

If you love the life you live, you will live a life of love

May God Bless each of you this day and every day. Until next time.... Peace
