Facing Times Of Uncertainty

In facing times of uncertainty it is easy to jump on the wagon with the rest of the crowd and head to Doomsville, especially with the media pouring their fear ladden suggestions to panic and shiver in your shoes about what is coming next.

I say WAKE UP PEOPLE and stop playing the victim role.

Start taking control of your thinking!! Do you really think for yourself or do you follow the media hype? Are you really convinced that filling your mind and thoughts of fear of the future is best for your success in life?

MAKE A CHOICE....are you going to follow the masses and choose to live in fear or are you going to create something bigger and more fulfilling.

Why not?

My good friend Jennie Marlow talks of this uncertainty (blog post below)and how to overcome it by focusing intentions in each moment on creating joy! Choose joy in every moment and see what happens....more joy is found!

En-joy,

Intentional Focus on Joyfulness
September 3rd, 2009 by jenniemarlow
“Everywhere, people pray to be relieved of their suffering. There is an antidote. It is to overcome any fears that are standing in the way of the full expression of what is joyful for you, no matter what happened before this moment, or what you believe will happen in the future.”
— Grandfather White Elk

Grandfather White Elk teaches us that most of the suffering we undergo is self-induced, a figment of the imagination that paints scenarios of what it fears. He says it is certainly possible to create wealth based on fear; people do this all the time. He reminds us, however, that what is created with fear as its foundation will generate and support more fear-based thinking, and this will rob it of its potential to be joyful and freeing. Fear of the future and regret about the past are what cause most of the suffering we endure. We prejudge the moment, without allowing its true meaning and full potential to emerge. The path of joy is thereby lost to us. It is also the case that if we are riding a wave of excitement over a belief we have in a certain outcome, the consequences are the same. In fact, Grandfather White Elk says there is no energetic difference between the motives we hold based on fear and the motives we hold based on excitement. Both motives are based on what we imagine about the future. The path of joy is one forged in what is real and true for us in any present moment, even if that moment is painful. In every now, our access to what is joyful is fully available to us. Every present moment beckons us with this very simple choice: will we choose based on our fear of uncertainty, or will we choose based on what is real and actualize-able now? If what we choose to bring into our lives is to deliver freedom, fun, ease and delight, it must be created from an intentional focus on these important essences.
