Gratitude

Many of us experience negative thoughts and emotions during the holidays. These are all based upon fear. Fear that we are not good enough, that we are unlovable, that we will not get what we want or lose something that we have. Fear pervades our thoughts, our days, our sleep, if we let it. Fear creates doubt, judgment, envy, guilt, anger, and dozens of other negative emotions. The quickest way to overcome fear is gratitude. It is my reality and experience that fear cannot exist in the presence of gratitude. Gratitude for what we have, instead of fear of what we don't have. Gratitude for who we are, instead of fear of what we are not. Try being grateful and being afraid at the same time. It is impossible. So we have a choice, to be filled with fear or gratitude. In this way we take back our power and become leaders. If we can be grateful, instead of afraid, we teach others how to be. Love Love Love.
