Let fear go

Fear is powerful, and yet it is fragile. Though it can stop you cold, fear can be gone in an instant when you decide you've had enough of it.


Fear is a very effective way for you to get your own attention. Then as soon as you're fully aware of a fear and what it has to say, you have no more use for it.

Let the fear advise you and prepare you, and then just let it go. It is nothing more than a thought over which you have full control.

When fear is what holds you back, there's a quick way forward. Accept the fear, feel it, learn from it, and then drop it completely from your mind.

By letting go of fear, you transform it into courage. In this way, you put the power of that fear to positive use.

Boldly step through each fear, then move on past it. And feel the strength that you've just gained.
 

Unaffordable extravagance

Negative thinking is perhaps the most extravagant, wasteful indulgence imaginable. It is something which no one alive can truly afford.

The price which negative thinking extracts can never be regained, because the price of negative thinking is paid with life. How is it possible for anyone to replace a moment, or a day or a year lost to negativity? And beyond the lost opportunity that it represents, negative thinking is just plain destructive. It accomplishes nothing and it costs so much.

Fortunately, negative thinking is completely unnecessary. And it is completely under your control. You don't have to participate in it if you don't want to. And why in the world would you ever want to?

No matter what comes your way, you can decide how to respond. Even in the most seemingly hopeless of situations, the best course is to remain focused on the positive, on what you can do, on the difference you can make. Why would you possibly want to do anything else?
