Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 72 of our Trek, and yesterday we learned that we can overcome negativity by filling our minds and life with positive habits. Today we will learn that we can overcome fear when we choose to focus on love.
We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are back in the swing of our routine this week with a significant amount of client work on our plates, as well as meeting with a potential new client and watching our grandson Kip one day. Even when life is busy and hectic, we try to make sure that life is also rich and satisfying.
As we set out on our Trek for today, we are faced with a choice. We have to consider, “Do we take the trail of fear or the trail of love?”
Life is like an unpredictable whirlwind of activities, people, thoughts, and feelings. The trails of life are rough for everyone at some point, and it can be all too tempting to want to stay at camp in our tents and give into the lies of fear. We imagine the great obstacles ahead of us and think, “I’m never going to make it. I will stumble and fall.”
We are each given the chance to choose between two trails at various milestones and seasons in life – the trails of fear or love. The way to live a rich and satisfying life of freedom is through love, and today and tomorrow we will explore the 12 reasons why you should always choose love over fear.
If you’re excited about an opportunity ahead of you, it shows you recognize there’s something to gain from it. This opportunity to gain – whether it’s a new job, a valuable business partner, a new place to call home, or a romantic relationship – will be fully realized when you are acting through love. Embrace the sacrifices necessary to achieve your goal, and forget that fear was ever there.
