Today’s Thought: Release Your Fears

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions. ~ Hafez

NOTE: I read the news online. I avoid cable talk and news shows. They have one thing in common, they all use one ingredient, fear. They advocate for their position by showing why I should be fearful of the opposing position. There’s no effort to discover middle ground or to sort out the truth from fiction. I recently saw a late night host do a bit on billionaires who are building survivalist bunkers. What are they afraid of? One billionaire even created a fiery moat around his bunker. Fear has gripped them tighter than a boa constrictor wrapping itself around its prey. Fear parallelizes. Fear places a wall in front of freedom. Fear restricts creative thinking. Fear holds us prisoner inside a cell and leaves the cell door unlocked knowing we will be too fearful to let go of our fears to open the door and walk away. What fears are you holding on to? What fears do you have that are irrational? How would you feel if you could let go of your fears and start living?
