The most important question I ever asked and answered for myself was:<\/p>\n

Is this a safe universe or a hostile one?<\/h3>\n

My first answer and my belief at the time was this is certainly an unfriendly, hostile universe. I could go on and on with reasons for that belief. Just read the paper or watch the news \u2026<\/p>\n

Then I thought about it. Based on that answer what would be the likely outcomes be in my life? Fear. The idea that this is an unsafe universe would only generate more fear. Did I really want to live in fear? The answer was a resounding \u2013 NO!<\/p>\n

So, did I\u00a0 have faith? Did I really believe in angels? Had I ever had anything negative happen when I was aligned with my spirit? When I really looked at my life the answer was no. When I was caught up in my thoughts and listening to my mind\u2019s version of reality I had numerous fearful events. The solution became obvious. Did I want to live in love? Of course.<\/p>\n

Do you have faith or not?<\/h3>\n

If I ask for the willingness to:<\/p>\n

Listen to the loving guidance of the angels
\nFollow that loving guidance
\nLet go of my limiting, fear based beliefs
\nTrust the process<\/p>\n

Life sure gets wonderful. So, perhaps pray for the willingness to be willing and see what happens to your life. I am sure you will like the results.<\/p>\n
