Old Thought
Fear means I am in danger. Somethings wrong,I must escape and seek Safety.
New Thought
Fear is pure energy. Its a signal. It might mean stop,it could mean go.
Old Thought
I have to figure it all out before I can do anything.
New Thought
We dont have to Believe we can do it to do it;the very act of showing up even with our fear has POWER.
Old Thought
If I act on what I believe,conflict will break out. I will be humiliated and ineffectual.
New Thought
Conflict means engagement. Something real is in motion. Its an opening not a closing.
Old Thought
Our Greatest Fears are our worst enemies. They drag us down and hold us back.
New Thought
Our worst Fears can be our Greatest Teachers.
Old Thought
If I am really myself,I will be excluded. If I break connection, I will be alone forever.
New Thought
To find genuine connection,we must risk disconnection. The new light we shine draws others toward us, and we become concious choosers.
Old Thought
I am just a drop in the bucket. My effort might make me feel better,but it cant do much.
New Thought
Every time we act,even with our fear,we make room for others to do the same.
Courage is contagious.
