Fear and Hope are Kissing Cousins

I'M REMINDED THIS MORNING THAT FEAR AND DREAD AND ANXIETY ENERGETICALLY ARE ACTUALLY REALLY CLOSE COUSINS TO HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY AND GREATNESS BEING JUST AROUND THE CORNER THAT THEY'RE REALLY REALLY CLOSE TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO NUDGE IT IN THE DIRECTION OF HOPE YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO NUDGE IT IN THE DIRECTION OF GREATNESS SO WHEN YOU FEEL THAT OH COMING UP IN YOU THAT'S ENERGY RIGHT OH IT'S COMING RIGHT YOU GET YOU YOU CAN CHOOSE RIGHT YOU WANNA GO TO FEAR ANXIETY DEPRESSION YOU WANNA GO TO HOPE OR GREATNESS RIGHT YOU CAN DIRECT THE RAW A MATERIAL THE RAW ENERGY INTO ONE OF THOSE TWO STREAMS BUT IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL WOO WILL YOU END UP IN ANXIETY LAND WILL YOU END UP IN ANXIETY LAND REAL QUICK

I'm reminded this morning that fear and dread, and anxiety energetically are actually really close cousins to hope, opportunity, and greatness being just around the corner. They're really, really close together. And you have the ability to nudge it in the direction of hope. You have the ability to nudge it in the direction of greatness. So when you feel that 'oh' coming up in you, that's energy, right? 'Oh,' it's coming right. You get to choose, right? You wanna go to fear, anxiety, depression? You wanna go to hope or greatness, right? You can direct the raw material, the raw energy into one of those two streams. But if you're not careful, woo, will you end up in anxiety land? Will you end up in anxiety land real quick?

I am reminded that fear and hope are close cousins. We have the choice of which direction to channel that energy in our lives. We possess the ability to determine our internal experience and disconnect from external stimuli, which have historically caused us suffering.
