Our fears are meant to be conquered, not collected. Fear keeps us small. We run into our leading edge, and we detour off into coping behaviors that keep us from pushing through.

We need to check in with our heart. Being true to ourselves means being present.

Fear is a belief that God is not present, that we are alone, and must defend our lives and our bodies, alone.

Today is all we have. The eternal moment, unfolding forever. Spirit is engendered and embodied in all we see, do and think. Everywhere is holy ground. Every interaction is sacred.

We are surrounded by good in the high times, and the challenging times. Life is not a series of hills and valleys. It is railroad tracks, positive and negative. Our focus defines our experience.

We must understand the consciousness of our perspective. Are we looking back, or looking ahead? Rooted in fear, or rooted in faith? Is this a universe of winners and losers? Where God has favorites?

We say 'God is good', but often that's conditional; it's good when it's going our way. When things go badly, we get to blame God.

Being mindful is being conscious of the moment. Not lost in the past, or drifting in the future. Both can have positives; lessons learned, intentions and goals. But when we forget to return to the moment, we lose the power.

There is nothing outside of us, away from us, separate from us, to "get". We have, and are all that is. It is the degree to which we embody and express life that It shows up for us.

Prayer does not change God, prayer changes us. It enlarges our mind, aligns us with our good and propels us forward.
