Fears and Worries

Fear & Worry is the misuse of imagination.

The 5 Versions of Fear: UPDATED 8-2-09.
1. FUCK EVERYTHING AND RUN! (GIVING UP AND
     HIDE.)

2. FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL!
     (PREDICTING, FUTURE TRIPPING)

3. FUTURE EVENTS ALREADY RUINED!
     (OBSESSING, PREDICTING)

4. FORGETTING EVERY AVAILABLE RESOURCE!
   (AL-ANON TOOLS)

The answer is:

5. FACE EVERYTHING AND RECOVER! (STOP RUNNING, PREDICTING, OBSESSING, FUTURE TRIPPING!)

WORK YOUR PROGRAM. KEEP THE FOCUS ON YOU.

WORRIES!

Worries are Fears!

Our worries are self-punishment, a form of not forgiving ourselves; not loving ourselves; not trusting!

The lesson here is TRUSTING IN GOD, when we are trusting we let go of our fear, have faith, and confidence that what we want and need will come. It will be GODS WILL and it will be in GODS TIME.
