I will not be afraid... 

 

Fear is an emotion that we all face in life at one point or another. It is a part of life that we cannot totally eradicate. It may be caused by different situations raging from fear of the unknown to fear of what we do know. We might not be able to completely eradicate fear at every point in our lives but we can try to reduce it and it's effects.  This can be done by increasing the opposite of fear which is faith. When you have any negative emotions like failure or fear, something that can hurt in your life, you can increase a positive emotion to counteract it... When we focus on the positive emotion, the positive emotion goes up and as the positive goes up the negative goes down. I visualize this like a "balancing effect", the scale always, always tip to whatever side is heavier. Right? You always surrender to the emotion that is higher and if you've been working on your positive emotions you are better able to respond with positive feelings/actions. So in this case Faith increases and Fear decreases. This goes for other negative thoughts and feeling that we combat regularly...

 

Now I know this sounds like simple mathematics but it is not that easy, it is something we have to practice and try to improve on daily. God help us all. Positive thinking and speaking goes a long way in dealing with life. Stay positive and keep your head up.

 

Let's be rejuvenated and revived as we celebrate Easter...Have a Happy Easter people!!!

                                                    Lyrics to "Speak Life"

Some days, life feels perfect.
Other days it just ain't workin.
The good, the bad, the right, the wrong
And everything in between.

Though it's crazy, amazing
We can turn a heart with the words we say.
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Some days the tongue gets twisted;
Other days my thoughts just fall apart.
I do, I don't, I will, I won't,
It's like I'm drowning in the deep.

Well it's crazy to imagine,
Words from our lips as the arms of compassion,
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die.

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Lift your head a little higher,
Spread the love like fire,
Hope will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the words you say.

Raise your thoughts a little higher,
Use your words to inspire,
Joy will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the things you say.

Lift your head a little higher,
Spread the love like fire,
Hope will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the words you say.

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Some days life feels perfect.
