So what are the common fears we subject ourselves to :-

• Poverty or loss
• Criticism or disapproval
• Ill health
• Being taken advantage of
• Failure and rejection

It is a sad reflection on our society that, despite the opportunities for abundance and happiness that exist today more so than ever before in the history of
mankind, so many are trapped in thoughts tinged with fear.

We know that like energy attracts like energy in the form of circumstances and people. It follows that the more you desire or fear something, the more likely
you are to attract it into your life. An emotionless thought has no power to influence you one way or the other. An emotionless thought causes frustration and
unhappiness. When you have clarity of thought, positive or negative, accompanied by an intense emotion of either fear or desire, you set the wheels of energy
in motion to attract whatever it is toward you.

Reject fear, choose love. This is a popular refrain and wonderful advice. Many believe that there are only two primal emotions in the human being, love and
fear, and that we cannot feel both at once. In the same way that light removes darkness, love can remove fear.

The choice to reject fear and choose love can feel like something that only applies to moments of crisis, when we’re leaving a marriage, starting a new business,
preparing to climb Mount Everest. But in truth, the opportunity to choose love and reject fear presents itself in the smallest moments of life, and specifically,
in relationships with those closest to us. Love over fear is a choice every time someone tells us something about ourselves or has an experience of us that we
don’t want to hear.
