Fear is usually generated by a belief we don’t have or we won’t get what we want or need. Yet when I ask people what they want or what they need they often don’t have an answer. They know what they don’t want and often they believe they need something in their external life to be different to feel good.<\/p>\n

It is a challenging concept to wrap our minds around but out there, the people, places and things in our life don’t generate our emotions. Our internal dialog creates all of our emotions. Each and every one of our emotions are based on the story we tell ourselves. No one or nothing can disturb our peace of mind unless we let it.<\/p>\n

Now that is a biggy! <\/p>\n


\nAs long as we maintain our connection to our spirit the only thing we experience is peace, love, safety, ease and joy. Fear, or more precisely, the stories we tell ourselves that generate fear cause us to disconnect. <\/p>\n

When we listen to our limiting thoughts about life we have one experience. When we listen to the gentle loving voices of the angels and our spirit we feel and know we are connected to the divine presence: to pure, unconditional love.<\/p>\n

It’s remembering that and doing whatever it takes to stay connected that is what we really need. Pray, meditate, connect with angels and make maintaining your connection to your spirit the most important thing in your life. Watch the miracles begin to flood into your life when you do.<\/p>\n
