I think too often we have the habit of making up the worst story possible. We have a tendency to let one small event, one headline, one opinion, blossom into some horrible result for all of mankind! In other words, we let our fear of what might happen take over. And in the process, we contribute to the very thing we don’t want to happen.

I am not talking about fear of the imminent…like a bear running toward you or someone pointing a gun in your direction. This is rational fear. It’s fear that is in alignment with present danger. Instead, I’m talking about the fear we manufacture based on what we think might happen. Irrational fear.

Think about how fear feels. Tense, sweaty, rigid, sick in the pit of the stomach. Apprehensive, uneasy, anxious. Panicked, heart-racing, scared. Think about the vibration of fear. It can be a low, grinding hum or an incredibly dangerous, out of control madness. And when we have a story based in fear, we want to talk about it to anyone who will listen. So, add the vibration of our voice and the words we use.

At this point, we are all in. It surely will happen, regardless of how much or little evidence we have. So, we walk around emanating fear. It pours out of us and impacts everything in our universe. We even say that we can smell fear. Which really means that we can sense fear. Because fear is a vibration.

We can practice catching ourselves when we travel the path of irrational fear. We can notice the story, the feeling and the vibration. And we can decide what kind of vibration we really want to offer the world. And then find our way toward that.

Just imagine what might happen if the vibration of the whole planet shifted away from fear and toward love, peace and joy. It could happen. Are you in?

I am.
