Living from Faith or Fear
November 16th, 2007, by Shelley Riutta
Do you live your life from faith or fear? When you are living from faith you are trusting that your life is unfolding perfectly–leading you on a path to your highest good. You trust that you are connected to a larger spiritual source that is good, loving and has your best interests at heart. When you live your life from fear—you believe that you alone are responsible for everything and that you have to micro-manage everything to make sure nothing bad happens. It is not a fun way to live—and it is also very exhausting.
So how do you shift from fear to faith? A good first step is to act as if you have faith—even though you might not fully trust—act as if. Act as if the Universe is a loving, good place—supporting you every step of the way. How would you act if you believed this—act as if. The more you act as if–the more you loosen the grip of your fear–your energy expands and opens—you will start to feel more in the flow. The more you relax and open you will start to feel this trust build–and you will see things in your life clicking into place easily—without you forcing things to happen. This helps you to relax and trust even more—the more you trust—the more things will flow. You are reversing the pattern of being in fear—which contracts your energy and makes things much more difficult in your life.
Act as if the Universe is a loving, good place supporting your highest good.
