It has been said that the root of all evil is money. I disagree.
How we handle fear is more to our detriment. Fear can be our excuse for everything. Sadly it is one of the most cultivated emotions that the world has played into to date. Even governments promote fear. If they didn’t how else would they control the masses? Our parents in order to control us did so by instilling the knowledge of consequence. The reason we responded to the consequence is because of our innate nature to fear loss. I believe that ‘fear of loss’ is one of the most cultivated fears in our humanity. We strive every day to gain more…to get more….just in case that one time comes when we might never have.
The beautiful thing about the human mind is that we can choose what to do with our emotions. Now you might say emotions aren’t right or wrong they just are. I would like you to ponder this. The emotion (fear) is there perhaps out of human nature but what we
choose to do with it and how we choose to put that emotion into action is whether it becomes right or wrong for our lives. An emotion felt is just that. An emotion felt. Nothing more. Nothing less. How we choose to act on fear…decides whether we give it power or not.

Easier said than done
Now perhaps you are reading this thinking that this is all easier said than done. To try and control our reaction to basic human emotion is extremely and highly improbable! I agree with you completely. It is easier said than done. I am not perfect at this and no one I know is perfect at this. The difference is in trying to incorporate it into your life. Perfection is never attained because as soon as we reach what we think is perfection our idea of perfection changes. Anyway, that is another topic for another time.
Thank you for sharing!!
