Fear or Love

How have you responded to life’s challenges and setbacks?  Have you become more fearful and protective?  Guarding your heart against being hurt one more time?

You are constantly being presented with a choice in dealing with the hurt you are encountering.  You may not fully realize how many times a day we get to exercise that choice.  Love or fear.  It’s like we are in a gym and all the exercise equipment is designed to do one thing.  Help us strengthen our ability to be present in a Loving state of being.

It’s really quite amazing.  For myself, having the general idea about coming from a place of Love wasn’t enough.  I also had to start practicing making the choice to allow Love and trust my heart to handle whatever it was I was facing.  Still am practicing making the choice, in fact.

Something magical happens as you keep practicing choosing Love over Fear, both for yourself and with others.  Fear melts away and is transformed.  The safest position to hold that of an open heart.

What a delicious setup!  What feels the most dangerous is in fact the safest.
