Your Best Life Strategy

What is your best strategy for living well? There is and always has been only one true answer to this question. You have the very best chance of living at the top of your game, and with the greatest degree of happiness, if you make your primary goal each moment of each day learning how to let go of fear.

How pervasive is fear? It is everywhere in our lives where we do not experience profound peace and its corollary, joy. Fear is identical with feeling that anything in life - absolutely anything - controls you. Fear is the experiential expression of disempowerment.

Fear is not always conscious, since it can hide itself under many covers. We are conscious of fear when we feel nervous or anxious. But fear also masks itself in other feelings and attitudes. For example, fear is the source of anger. Fear also breeds competitiveness. Fear underlies the need to please, to be approved of, to be liked, and to be top dog. We don't need these if we are not afraid. ...

Finally, all fear creates fearful consequences. We drive ourselves sick with fear, drive others away through our fear or seek to control them, and live in judgment and fear of judgment. All this breeds a dark world - the world we live in.

The only solution to fear is letting go of the addiction to feeling disempowered, to feeling that we are somehow lacking. Fear is, after all, an addiction. ...

Moment by moment practice of releasing the internal experience of fear and cultivating the internal experience of peace is a life journey that can bring extraordinary results, if only you practice. You too can become truly peaceful in this chaotic world. You too can own an ocean of peace and joy in the midst of a life full of uncertainty. You too can let go of the illusion of fear.
