Here in Japan I am<br \/>\ndoing private sessions. The other day a woman who came to see me was so fearful<br \/>\nthat when I asked her if she wanted to be happy she could not say yes. When I<br \/>\nasked her to look at me she was so afraid she couldn&#8217;t even raise her<br \/>\neyes.<span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It was sad to see someone living in hell like that. I<br \/>\nremember when I was like that and I didn&#8217;t know the answer, my freedom was always<br \/>\nwithin me. I had no idea that all I had to do was change my thinking and open<br \/>\nup to the love that always surrounded me. I send her my prayers and a belief<br \/>\nthat someday she can step into the light of love as well.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In spite of what we believe we live totally immersed in a<br \/>\nsea of love and there are always angels around us, just waiting to be of<br \/>\nservice, but we have to allow in the love. Free will allows us to choose to live<br \/>\nin heaven or hell.&nbsp;That choice is ours moment by moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That woman was only thoughts away from happiness and joy but<br \/>\nshe was too afraid to let go of her limiting thoughts. Do you hold onto any of<br \/>\nyour limiting beliefs? Are you afraid there won&#8217;t be enough or that you aren&#8217;t<br \/>\nlovable or that there is something wrong with you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">What beliefs stop you from knowing you live in a loving,<br \/>\nsafe universe? Only we have the ability to change our world and we can easily<br \/>\ndo that thought by thought. Only love is real everything else is an illusion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more Fearless Fridays: <br \/><\/strong>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2009\/07\/fearless-fridays-9.html\">5 Ways Fear Can Improve Your Life<\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2009\/07\/fearless-fridays-5.html\">7 Ways to Overcome Fear<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2009\/07\/fearless-fridays-7.html\">Inspirational Quotes on Fear<\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/fearless-friday\/\">View all Fearless Fridays posts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<i><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a>  part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fear can be such a crippling emotion.
