What's the Opposite of Fear?

Did you just say courage?

Wrong.

Let's back up a minute and see how this question relates to living your life 'story.'

When you first envisioned your ultimate goal, you probably felt happiness and joy. At this point, you knew with complete certainty that you would someday be living the life for which you were born.

But fast forward a bit and that joy turns to fear when you or some well-meaning friend or family member starts to question whether you could ever actually achieve such a monumental goal.

That's fear.

Now, our initial instinct may be to go into warrior mode and fight for what's ours. That can be good, but there is another emotion that is even stronger than bravery.

And that's love. Yes, love is the opposite of fear and is tremendously more powerful.



When you feel fear about not living your life 'story' because you may be a.) inadequate b.) inferior
c.) crazy to have even thought about such a lofty goal or d.) all of the above, reach inside yourself for love.

Remember the passion that you felt when you knew that this was the 'story' of your life.

Your goal plus your love combine in perfect harmony to keep you moving forward.

Remember that with every beat of your heart.
