Love or Fear

As 2013 comes to an end it's a time for self reflection. We make promises to ourselves and others to do and be better. We really only have two options and one choice to make.

We all have been introduced to Love and Fear in some shape of form on many levels in our lives. Many of us don't realize the type of impact this creates in our life. The truth is that Love and Fear are the ONLY two emotions that exist in this world. From these two emotions feelings are drawn out such as happiness, joy, security, depression, hate, envy, the list goes on and on. All positive feelings comes from Love and all negative feelings come from Fear.

What we fail to realize is how much of an impact Love or Fear has on us. Did you know that the driving force behind our decisions is solely based on Love or Fear? Did you also know that it's not possible to feel both emotions at the same exact time? Think about it.

So many of us are unhappy with our lives. We drag ourself out of bed to an underpaid overwork unfulfilled job. You want and know you deserve better and feel you should make a change. So now your faced with a decision do you leave or stay. We start contemplating on the pros and cons. For some of us it's clear as day. Your ready to walk out on faith and claim a better job for yourself. Your confident that your making the right choice. There is no obstacle that will stand in the way of your happiness. That's moving in Love. Love Was the deciding factor to your decision. However those who stay cause they feel they can't find anything or learn anything new. Afraid of starting over meeting new people, relocating. The longer you ponder the more reason you come up with to just stay at your current job. You decide just to settle that's moving in Fear. Fear was your underline emotion to your decision.

My personal battle have been that when an opportunity arise I have let it slip through my fingers for several reasons. One reason is not wanting to fail . Not wanting to be a failure becomes so great in my mind that I loose sight of the goal that I want to achieve in the first place. Also having to put my guard down a bit and trust the people involved is not so easy for me. So I don't try which is an atomic failure after all. Just another possible opportunity waisted.

It doesn't matter what the issue at hand really is. Weather you want to eliminate a personal or business relationship, you have a health issue, want a career change , or you want to relocate. We must be aware on what emotions were feeling. Are we making our decisions based on Love or Fear.

Once I had became aware on how I was making my choices I became more conscious of my minds thoughts. I started to see how in fact this effects my daily life on a 24 hour based from the smallest to biggest decisions. I have to make a choice and in order to have true enlightenment I must choose to move in Love.

So our new years resolution should be to no longer move in Fear but ONLY in Love. The possibilities would be endless. The doors would bust open with unlimitted opportunities.You feel strong and whole. You will feel a great sense of security. Your life would be much more of a peaceful one.

I wish everyone nothing but Love. I pray that Love consumes your every move in every aspect of your life. Let's be more conscious of our minds thoughts so we can then all achieve Greatness! !
