Laurie,
I am at the cusp of financial devastation with my business of 15 years. Some would say I should have dropped this costly old rock years ago. Maybe I should have. But I didn't. I now am learning how to get beyond fear. I never was a “by the books” kind of guy. I learn from experience. Well. Here I go…
George -
What I just heard you say is that you have been gifted with the opportunity for a fresh start; a new beginning.
I wish.
Congratulations.
I'm glad, sometimes fear can be the most disabling burden of all. It feels so good to let that load slide off your back.
I feel bad that you blew your last bit of seeds on me the other day. I really don't know what those seeds do, But I just found out I have a couple. Here some more your way.
Nothing lost, nothing gained! ;-D
Jaleesa - you do have it [fresh start; new beginning]. It's inside you right now.
Sandi - aaaahhhh yes. From a woman who has walked a mile in those shoes.
George - the object is not to accumulate them, but to give the seeds away (echo: away, away, away) …
Satya-Seer - yessiree, in the losing of fear, one gains wisdom.
Thank you all for visiting today.
Completely? altogether? I don't mean to sound truculent or prickly; it's just hard for me to get my brain around that. no fear whatsoever? I have much less than I used to, for sure, but it's hard to imagine never feeling it at all. Adversity is surely opportunity but it can still be scary for me.
Laura -
No fear. Period. Fear can only change one thing. It has the power to acerbate a problem. In other words, it can make things worse. It has absolutely no effect in having a positive influence; changing things for the better. Fear is a waste of perfectly good energy. I choose (conscious choice/decision) to not feed it with any portion of my personal energy signature.
