In my worst moments, I feel panic. I wallow in sadness, which leads to a parade of other emotions. Fear and anxiety walk right in and all over me. Then am I lost, lost, completely overtaken by these strong emotions. What a pull they have over me.
Let us dismantle that pull.
Simply by putting it into words have you diminished it quite a bit already. Remember it is your destiny to choose. Could you visualize a state in which you had ceased to entertain anger or fear in any guise? You simply pointed a finger at anger and fear, two large, skulking prey animals who had taken up possession uninvited in your home, contributing nothing and consuming everything.
Leave my house now, anger and fear
I have entertained you long enough. No more. Go through this door and leave.
Thank you.
What if you make this decision up front, before any other situation comes along to test it? Make the decision to kick out the parasitic twins of anger and fear. Then, let unfold what may.
This is a decision I could make.
Be vigilant in banishing anger and fear. They will try to skulk back. Treat them as you did the little mice who made a nest in your walls. Sorry, you’re in the wrong place. You have to go. This is not negotiable. Thank you.
You are in the wrong place
The act of naming anger and fear is the first act in containing them, which is the first act in disabling them completely. Whenever you feel fear’s sickly embrace again, send it packing just on principle. It doesn’t matter what the fear seems to be occasioned by. Fight with fear no more; it is not worthy of your attention.
And then turn your attention to whatever situation you want. First make your light clear by ridding your world of anger and fear. They are no more than static that prevent you from hearing the true message.
When armies are evenly matched
the one with compassion wins
