Obviously, the real issue has nothing to do with fear itself, but, rather, how we hold the fear. For some, the fear is totally irrelevant. For others, it creates a state of paralysis. The former hold their fear from a position of power (choice, energy, and action), and the latter hold it from a position of pain (helplessness, depression, and paralysis).

I said to myself: 'You mean all those people out there that I've been envying because they're not afraid to move ahead with their lives have really been afraid? Why didn't somebody tell me!?' I guess I never asked.

Dear God, I trust that no matter what happens in my life, it is for my highest good. And no matter what happens in the lives of those I love, it is for their highest good. From all things that are put before us all, we shall become stronger and more loving people. I am grateful for all the beauty and opportunity you put into my life. And in all that I do, I shall seek to be a channel for your love.

Look at people in your life as “practice.” The way you react to them allows you to see what you have to work on within yourself.

Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the fear which comes from the feeling of helplessness.

By learning to trust your intuition, miracles seem to happen. Intuitive thoughts are gifts from the higher self.

By reeducating the mind, you can accept fear as simply a fact of life rather than a barrier to success.
