OVERCOME FEAR with INTELLIGENCE


CONSIDER THIS...
''I Said,With INTELLIGENCE''

---Is the New Millenium going to be truly new or just more of the same old same old? Are we laboring under the idea and premise that nothing ever changes and the way I am is the way I am and nothing can be done about it? If you are, then you have simply gotten yourself stuck, and ''rutted'' within and need to learn to ''unstick'' yourself to enjoy the constant newness that Living, Loving and Learning present to us all the time. We have to open up a bit. Remember that it is NOT the STRONGEST, nor most INTELLIGENT, that does better. It is those who most easily ADAPT to change.
---The Art of Letting Go is a very important thing to learn, to get back to the natural flow of Life and Living. So many of us have had such devastating bouts with feeling out-of-control, that we become afraid and anxious at the very thought of letting go and of Life re-establishing Itself for us. But Fear of Life will only keep us paralyzed and limit our quality of Living.
--As children, we were taught to fear the traffic in the streets and we were harshly punished if we ventured into the roadway, in order to protect us. But as we grew older, FEAR was REPLACED by UNDERSTANDING and INTELLIGENCE, and common sense tells us that walking in front of a moving bus is not a good idea. We have learned that we don't have to fear the traffic in order to safely deal with it. Truthfully, all fears work the same way. When we understand the truth of the matter, we will be free to approach things both different and new, free from fear, and use our intelligence and common sense to adjust and to make good choices.

---It Really is OKAY to Lighten-up and Laugh, Even at Yourself, Sometimes---

---It really is okay to lighten up the intensity that some of us seem to carry
around. It is okay to laugh and to sometimes laugh at yourself. It is okay to ask for help, to change attitudes and behavior that simply no longer work, and to admit that sometimes we have used the wrong approach
---My resolution for the New Millenium is this- To reduce the fears that I still carry within me by viewing them with honesty and intelligence, to see more clearly
the pathways and options Life holds for me. To increase my Living, Loving and Learning powers to find and utilize my own unique pace, and experience all the joy, love and peace that Life has to offer. We all truly have Love for and do Love one another, we're all just working out the details. Keep It SIMPLE.
