We can either move away from pain and fear or toward pleasure and love. The destination may seem the same but the results we get and our experiences are very different. When we move away from pain we create pain to move away from and when we move toward pleasure we create pleasure to move toward.<\/p>\n

The question becomes: What do you want more of in your life?<\/p>\n


\nWhen fear is knocking at our door it is often hard to remember we don’t have to let fear in, we can ask it to leave. Thought by thought we can choose to focus on fearful thoughts or expansive loving thoughts. <\/p>\n

When fear shows up ask the angels to help you see things differently and then ask them for the willingness to see life from a new, more loving perspective. It is amazing what happens when we do that on a regular basis. Fear is an illusion, only the love is real. <\/p>\n
