Motivated by Fear

If you don't agree with what I have to say then please private message me rather than commenting. I'm not trying to start a war.. These are just my beliefs & I'm sharing what has helped ME.

What's your purpose & are you living in alignment with it? If so then you are living in the NOW and you see fulfillment & opportunity is everywhere.. and if not then you are living in the past or future and FEAR is your driver for INACTION (or NEGATIVE action ) & Negative self limiting beliefs.

Before I became a Coach I was always living in fear...
Fear of failure...especially in front of others. I also lived in constant comparison mode as well as trying to please everyone and "fix" everything. No doubt that comes from a childhood of fighting parents and scare tactics to "keep us safe" .

I was so unsure of myself for YEARS until I started to uncover WHY I reacted to things the way I did. We all have very animalistic self preservation acts that usually keep us stagnant and afraid rather than safe....and the example last night reminded me of this....

Last night I watched video footage of the capitol building and it made me so sick to my stomach. Fear started to take over... As tears ran down my face I had to remind myself that I was going to be OK. We WILL overcome this. We don't need guns and violence to "protect ourselves " Even though I grew up being taught that I see the other side and it saddens me greatly.

Violence is NEVER the answer & we SHOULD see right from wrong. There are Acts of Love and there are Acts of hate and we should know the difference. Fear is the driver for acts of Hate and that's what I saw last night.

Anyway.. I didn't know where this post was going but as I react to the negative around me I'm reminded that I can respond with Fear and hate or ...not.

I choose instead to live in alignment with my purpose and do my best at learning and growing and choosing love over hate. It's a much more fulfilled life that I'm living in NOW than when I was a child and there's no way I will ever go back to being driven by fear. I hope and pray that the fear driven find the peace they are searching for...rather I hope they CREATE that peace before it's too late for them.

Choose love. Not hate. Yes, it's a choice. Own it.
