NO F.E.A.R.

Sitting at my dining room table at 1 a.m., my husband walked in the door after taking our dog out for a walk. He seemed shaken and was breathing heavily so I asked if everything was alright. “You will never believe what just happened.” he said anxiously. “I was just outside walking the dog and I saw this man dressed in black walking a dog up the street. I didn’t want the two dogs to see each other and bark so I just stood still. The guy must have noticed me and he stopped too. It was a little odd because he was dressed in black from top to bottom. I wanted to get closer so I took a few steps forward and so did the man. I was starting to get really freaked out, but wanted to know who the guy was so I picked up the dog and moved toward him. I started to run and so did the man, and as my heart was pounding like a bass drum, I realized….I was running after my own shadow! It wasn’t another man. IT WAS ME AND MY SHADOW!”

As Larry told me this story, I fell over laughing. He was TOTALLY “freaked out” over his own shadow!

What is FEAR? False Expectations Appearing Real. How many times in life do we spend precious hours fearing things we think “might happen”? Instead of living with a peace at all times, we worry over our bills, our health, and even our future. Why waste another moment worrying about your life? Will your worry help you add anything to your results? NO! In fact, worry has been scientifically linked to decreased immunity, ill health, and decreased vitality.

Instead, take time to meditate on those things which are good, lovely, and of a good report. Your thoughts are powerful. Use them wisely!
