“The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder.”
— Richard Bach
— Richard Bach
For many years I was afraid to allow joy, to allow love, to allow goodness into my life. I grew up with fear and embraced that fear as if nothing else could take its place. As I have watched myself choose to change, and have watched others gather their unique courage to change, I have also watched the fearful remain oppressed, remain depressed, and remain a prisoner to their own self imposed addictions and crises. Why do the fearful remain fearful? Perhaps it is somehow comforting to continue walking the same path one has always walked, never having a vision of joy and wonderment. We each can and will change when we awaken to the belief that love, joy, and an amazing life is already present in our authentic selves, in our respective lives. We can choose joy or we can continue to choose fear. None of us were born with fear…we learned it and we incorporated fear into some or all areas of our lives. Joy is our natural state of existence. Which will you decide to choose? How you experience your life is up to your focus, attitude, and beliefs. How is it working for you?

Joy and fear are so perfectly explained here. Gratitude fills me up and at the moment comes through in tears, creating even more release, and more gratitude for that! Perhaps I just need to read this at the beginning of each day, like today, especially when I’m not at home, and need the reminder.
Thank-you!
