Put on your double billed detective chapeau and let's see if you can guess which one, Boys and Girls.
Fear is a powerful drug.
It enables the peddlers to shape reality into any form imaginable all while claiming that their way is the only way to manage the trumped up scenarios they produce.
Fear numbs and freezes it's victims and makes them easy targets for predators.
Fear's powers of incapacitation are the exact reason it spreads so easily...you can't move...it's gonna get ya.
Do you know what fearlessness does? I know it seems like a mysterious entity, especially to certain blocks of people around here, but it's an amazing antidote to bullshit, real or perceptual.
Our reality is determined by our own point of view. Think about it. When you DECIDE you are going to be grumpy, pissed off and foul - that's exactly what you are - and that's they way you are perceived by anyone who has to come in contact with you AND everyone else who comes into contact with them...ad infinitum.
When you DECIDE that you are in a great mood, that crisis can be easily handled today, that noting is going to bother you and that YOU BEING HAPPY AND PLEASANT is what your reality is...lo and behold - that's what it becomes. Seriously. People aren't strangers anymore, there in the same boat as you...a helpful word, an assist, an attempt at connection and empathy is natural.
All it takes is you DECIDING that's how you want to live.
Now, already I can hear the backlash..."Just because you decide to be happy doesn't mean the Oligarchy is not killing us and the government has tapped our Facebook and the world is ending and you better get your bullets and decide what team you're on!"
No shit.
The point is - REJECT THE FEAR. It incapacitates you. It tells you you are helpless against the 100% overwhelming and more powerful forces against you. In other words it says to you "You may as well lay down because you are already dead."
I will not peddle fear and I will not have it peddled to me by people who are supposed to be on MY "Team" and you shouldn't either. You should reject it. You should look at it as a poison. You don't drink or eat poison knowingly do you? I mean, some do, but it's not sustaining and they die, right? Do you want to die?
Do you want to die? If you accept FEAR as reality you may as well already be dead.
Do you want to know the secret? You are NOT as strong as you ARE, you are as strong as you DECIDE you are. Fear takes away your ability to decide and only leaves you with the ability to accept.
Don't accept the fear being peddled. Don't choose it. It's that simple.
Decide that you are strong, smart, resilient and able to withstand whatever is thrown at you when it is thrown at you.
And to those who peddle it and stir people up..why are you spreading fear instead of truth?
What "TEAM" are YOU on, boys and Girls?
