Fear is so debilitating. It stops us from reaching our potential. It stops us from fulfilling our dreams. It makes us mistrust ourselves and others around us. It brings negative thoughts and destructive behaviours into every situation and relationship. Fear makes us suspicious of other's actions and motives.
The opposite of fear is faith. Faith brings out the best in us. It motivates us to take a chance. We will more likely take a risk and trust ourselves and the people around us.
I know how I would rather live. Even if people I trust let me down or I make an error of judgement, at least I had a go. One of my sayings is, "You have to have a dream if you want your dreams to come true".
It is also no good having dreams if you don't follow your dreams with action. We are often the answer to our own prayers. I am not saying that we are somehow God. No, what I mean is, we pray for something or someone and then we realise that we can actually help that situation.
My choice is to live by faith. Faith in God, who loves me and gave His Son to die for my sins. I choose to believe the best in people around me and forgive them when they fail as I hope and pray that they will forgive me when I fail.
