Fearless Living in a Fearful, Pandemic World

Here we are on a Sunday afternoon. I can’t help but think it’s almost the beginning of a new year. It’s like my New Year’s resolution, starting in May. Well, everybody’s got to get back to work, beginning tomorrow, Monday, May 4th. And a number of us are going to have fears that are welling up inside of us about reengaging into the workplace. And I’m here to say we were never given a spirit fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. And those three things give us authority over anything. So when you think about going back to work and addressing your fears, one-identify what it is. Be very, very specific. Then, number two, Address the situation. Repent of it, so to speak. When you think about that word in the Latin: repent, it means go back, open new thoughts. Right. So be open to thoughts, but you’ve got it now, number three, you’ve got to overcome that fear. While that is looking back, saying, OK, I have the courage to address it, now I’m going to to focus on specifically how am I going to overcome it. Because if I keep doing the same thing over and over again, if I allow those thoughts which were negative, where they were fear based to continue, I’m just going to do the exact same thing over and over again. Once you overcome, you’ve got to, number four, continue to speak it out loud. Every day, every morning, begin your day with an affirmation. I will speak the truth. I am not given a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, like I’m reaching out and of a sound, disciplined mind. I am in order and disciplined. You’ve got a basic feeling of order in my life. And I don’t have to detract from it. I will stay focused and I’ll succeed. Have a great day.
