Being a Part of the Solution – Louise Hay

Louise Hay is one of my favorite people to listen to. Her affirmations and perspective are so positive and encouraging I always feel better after reading her messages in my email. She is one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time and we are so blessed to have her with us.

“I do whatever I need to do to keep my inner world peaceful. My inner peace is essential for my health and well-being.”

More than ever there seems to be so much in the world to fear. On the news, in life and in the very fabric of our existence. I understand, it is human to fear what we can’t control and we don’t understand. The wonderful thing about fear is we can change that fear into faith. Though that may sound difficult, it is actually a simple shift of our own intent and perspective. By understanding that we can’t control everything or anything but ourselves, that in itself becomes our strength. Each of us has the ability to influence the world, see the beauty in life, and spread faith through our attitudes and actions.

Psychologist and author Susan Jeffers once stated, “Everybody feels fear when approaching something totally new in life—yet so many are out there doing it despite the fear—then we must conclude that fear is not the problem.”

Love is the opposite of fear. The more we’re willing to love and trust who we are, the more we attract those qualities to ourselves. When we’re on a streak of really being frightened or upset or worried or not liking ourselves, isn’t it amazing how everything goes wrong in our lives? It’s the same when we really love ourselves. Everything starts to go on a winning streak, and we get the green lights and the parking spaces. We get up in the morning and the day flows beautifully.

“By embracing faith, instead of fear, we become an example of the love and strength needed to help change the world. Peace was never won with violence and faith has never been met with darkness. Let us become the deliverers of hope through our intention to make the world a better place, one moment and one action at a time.” ”

We need to love ourselves so that we can take care of ourselves. We have to do everything we can to strengthen our hearts, our bodies, and our minds. We must turn to the Power within, find a good spiritual connection, and really work on maintaining it.

Let’s do some affirmations right now to help go beyond our negative thoughts:

I am willing to release my fears. I live and move in a safe and secure world. I free myself from all destructive fears and doubts.

Then we are in faith, not fear.
