LAUGH...OUT LOUD AND OFTEN

A friend called recently with a terrible problem. The problem has not occurred yet. But it is going to be terrible when it does occur. She is positive she will not be able to handle it plus she will be humiliated. She knows for a fact that there is no possible way to fix this because she has been thinking about it for weeks and found no answer.

So, her question: What is she to do? My answer: I don't know.

But I do know the mechanics of what we call "cleaning up the wreckage of the future." We doubt ourselves. We dread. We mentally write our own scripts. We put the other down. We push back with malice. We feel guilty. We repeat...incessantly.  

All, each and every one, is simply our attachment to our own ego-victory reasoning mind with its fear of failure riding herd. Fear demands that we get up in our heads and try to find a solution...which just breeds more fear because there is no mental solution to fear.

God's invitation is to simply let the fear fear while we remember, out loud and often: God has my back. God's hand is in this. God has already intervened in this in my behalf. Calmly repeat...remembering to love the cause for needing to repeat and to laugh, out loud and often.

Thank you.
