Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 73 of our Trek, and yesterday we reviewed the first 6 reasons why we should choose the trail of love over the trail of fear. Today we will continue with reasons 7-12 discussing how 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. It has been a steady day of work, and we have completed a variety of tasks. It just seems like each day races by, and before I know it, I am out of time, with only a fraction of my list of tasks completed. I do tend to be very task oriented so that I stay on path of what needs accomplished each day. Certainly learning the nuances of producing a daily podcast has added a bit to my schedule, but my hope is that you enjoy coming along our Trek each day and that you are learning as much as I am.

So, let’s get started.
Fear is to be expected when something huge is taking place, but love will allow you to push through those obstacles. Fear is a natural human emotion, and you should understand that everyone becomes afraid at different times in life. You’re normal and healthy if you encounter fear from time to time. But moving forward under the visage of love shows you that fear only creates obstacles through our own choosing. You have the capacity to look past those obstacles when harnessing love.
Famous basketball player Michael Jordan shares his own thoughts on overcoming obstacles, “If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn...
