The Opposite Of Fear …

Let me remind you today as I have said to many of you over the years …

THE OPPOSITE OF FEAR IS NOT COURAGE…

IT IS GRATITUDE.

What I really mean by this is that when anxiety — or any other form of fear — comes up for you, instead of immediately aiming at being “courageous,” try first to shift your mind to some of the most recent experiences you are grateful for. Ideally you will be reflecting on recent moments of GLEE. See if this moves your mind at least a bit from where it started. Then proceed. Happy Thanksgiving.

Spark On!
