Uprooting
Fear and Planting Love
As
you gain the habit of recognizing how love and fear in all forms
and to all degrees show themselves to you in your life, you're building
the foundation for the next step of your personal evolution. You'll
then be able to consciously choose which you wish to experience,
to what degree, and when.
It
may seem ridiculous that anyone would consciously choose to experience
any form of fear. However, there are times when it is desirable
in order to broaden one's knowledge about fear and its effect on
aspects such as one's health or a current situation. There is much
value in the knowledge to be gained when learning about fear.
Fear
is not to be avoided, but is instead to be welcomed as an opportunity
to learn. Avoidance of fear won't make it go away. On the contrary,
avoidance of fear only makes it grow.
An
old farmer once taught me a lesson about fear and how to get rid
of it. Using Tansy Ragwort, which is poisonous to grazing animals
such as the horses I had at the time, as an example he said that
cutting it down only makes the plant stronger. It grows back even
larger - or meaner, as he put it. He said that the only way to get
rid of Tansy is to pull it out by the roots.
Fear
is like Tansy Ragwort in that respect. Avoiding fear is like cutting
the Tansy down, which is a temporary solution at best and only results
in making it stronger, or "meaner", when it returns. The only way
to make a fear go away is by pulling the entire issue up by the
roots. Once you have it completely uprooted, you can examine it,
revealing the learning it offers you. It then becomes a powerful
tool for you to use in creating that which you desire.
Once
the learning is accomplished, the next step is to welcome the love
that replaces the fear, for love will always do so. When fear is
released, love fills the hole that the roots of fear left when it
was uprooted.
Again,
the challenge is to recognize the love, just as you learned to recognize
the fear. It may come in the form of compassion, forgiveness, joy,
or any one of the gazillions of forms of love.
This
is why it is of vital importance to learn how to recognize both
love and fear. This is not always easy, so here's one method to
make it easier: make a list. Lists, mind maps, treasure maps, and
other such tools serve to remind you and support you in consciously
being aware of what you want to attract or manifest.
You'll
need two sheets of paper, one each for Love and for Fear. Begin
with the list of fears, for two reasons - because it's easier for
us to recognize fear and because ending up with the love list is
like eating your veggies first (fear) and then enjoying dessert
(love) afterward. A delicious reward!
When
you've listed as many forms of each as you can, post the lists where
you'll see them often. By your desk, for example. Add to the lists
as you begin to notice more ways you recognize love and fear.
Each
time you witness an example of love or sense it within yourself,
stop for a moment and acknowledge it. The same goes for fear. Whenever
you hear words of fear or see an act of fear coming from yourself
or others, acknowledge it silently to yourself. In both cases, congratulate
yourself on become more aware of how many ways you notice both love
and fear in your life. As you do so, you ready yourself for the
next step: transforming fear into love.

An
Inner Journey: Your Core Life Values
Your
core life values define you. They form the very foundation of your
life and are reflected in everything you think, feel, and do. They're
the basis and the meaning of your life. All of your choices, judgments,
and decisions are filtered through your life values, whether you're
aware of this happening or not.
When
you aren't honoring your life values, you're living your life by
default. You're allowing other people to make decisions about your
life and, by doing so, you put yourself in the position of being
a victim. Each time you allow outside influences such as other people,
situations, conditions, and even your environment, to determine
your life choices you're giving your personal power away. Without
your personal power, you lose your direction and focus, making yourself
an ineffective victim.
Your
life values are the brightly-lit neon signs pointing you toward
the powerfully effective actions that you are most capable of accomplishing
in order to make the changes you wish to see in your life... and
in this world.
If
you're ready to begin living your life purpose and do your part
in creating a better world, take the first step now - identify your
core life values.
