Do you know what fear and faith have in common?
A future that hasn’t happened yet.
Fear believes in a negative future; faith believes in a positive future. So I ask you, if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive future? What do you have to lose but the fear that is sabotaging your joy and success?
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any fear. There are times when fear is a gift. A healthy dose of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. It moves us to smell the cheese and anticipate change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions.
Some fear is good.
However, what I have observed lately is a super-sized megadose of fear that pervades the hearts and minds of far too many people. This jumbo-sized fear can cause you to scurry in a million different directions or become paralyzed by it. In both cases, fear will lead you to take the negative road to failure.
The answer is the positive road paved with faith and a belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you. With this belief, you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your vision and purpose. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.
Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act.
Fear or faith. The choice is yours.
