Choose love not fear!

I wanted to share my recent segment on Al Dia with Leticia Mendoza.  Though it is in Spanish, here is a translated summary of what I spoke about :)

“Something that changed my life was to learn that all of our decisions come from one of two places: Love or Fear.  I wrote about this a while back here.  At all times, we have a choice as to where we make decisions from.  Here is an example:  You might want to ask for a raise at work.  Fear tells you: Do not shake things up, you are well where you are, be satisfied with what you have. Love tells you: Make a list of all the things you contribute at your job, evaluate them, value them, and knowing this ask for what you deserve.  Fear will want you to live a small life, giving examples of all the disasters that may occur.  The problem is that eventually fear creates a life filled with bitterness and resentment. Many years of making decisions in a place of fear results in a frustrated life.  To avoid this and to make sure you live the best life you can live, do the following the next time you have a decision to make:

• Ask yourself the question: What would be an answer coming from a place of love, not fear?
• Note the feelings that occur within you:
• An answer that comes from fear will mainly have negative feelings of low energy, such as sadness or anger
• An answer that comes from love will have more positive feelings, such as hope
• Choose the answer that comes from a place of love

In the same way, when you feel low and negative energy I recommend that you ask: ‘Where am I making my decisions from, Fear or Love?’ This question will help you center around that which is most important to you.   Choose to take your actions from a place of love and I assure you that you will not only enjoy life much more, but also live with more peace, honoring everything that is important to you.  And now here's the surprise ... when you begin to practice this, you might start taking unexpected actions.  I assure you that these actions will be the way to your individual and unique happiness.”

Lots of love,
