Thought For Today - 12/8/08

The other day I had a friend tell me that he fears that something is bad going to happen to him. I asked the question why? He went onto explain that everything in his life was going great. He had just gotten a big raise and promotion on his job (see you can yet prosper during this time of financial crisis in the world). His home life was great. He and his family were in great health and the list goes on.

I know many just like him – fearing the unknown. As I talked more with this friend, I found he was yet living in his past – where things did happen that were bad, terrible and traumatic when things had seem like they were going good in his life.

So, he as many others are – full of fear and dread, even while things are going great for them. They worry that the worst that could happen – will happen. They begin to believe that it is most likely waiting for them – just around the corner – so to speak. The bad, dread and traumatic things are ready to steal their joy, their peace and money.

In short, come to grips with fear. Then, get rid of it! Let go of the negative energy. Stop punishing yourself. Look at life as being on your side. Trust life. Believe in joy and peace for everyday that you live from now on.

Fear will ruin your life. It will take your joy and peace and your money!

Much love,
