The Big Decisions

I will cover two of them. These topics are hinted at in the movie The Secret, but not addressed directly.

Decision 1: Love or Fear? Sometimes the same question is phrased as Faith or Fear?

When something that you are not expecting manifests. . . Oh what did I do to derserve (or to attract) this ??

Irrelavent. It's here now. It's coming is in the past, it's going is in the future, but your decision is RIGHT NOW.

The scripture says: For perfect love casteth out all fear. Not surprisingly, perfect fear casteth out all love.

How do we feel when we choose love? That's guidance telling us that we are doing the right thing!

How do we feel when we choose fear? That's emotional guidance telling us that we are now acting in a way that is contrary to our true nature. If we were supposed to be fearful beings, then emotional guidance would have us feeling really good about that fear.

We never feel good about False Evidence Appearing Real.

Decision 2: Freedom or Security? Some may feel that these are the same thing. They are not.

In fact the one repels the other. Seeking security reduces freedom, and seeking freedom can seem to reduce security, at least at first.

Who has the most Security? The people in Prison. Very little freedom though (Thank You Robert Kiyosaki for this one :-) ).

Who has the most Freedom? Those who have obtained all three of the three dimensions of success. They are 1. Financial Freedom -- 2. Time Freedom -- 3. Freedom to bring Joy to others. (Thank You Donna Johnson for that).

Those who seek Security seek for a Job. One with benefits and a Secure paycheck. In exchange they give up their time freedom for 40-80 hours a week (counting commuting time).

Those who seek Freedom seek for a Business. One that they can build to the point where they have both financial and time freedom. One with which they can bring Joy to the life of others. One in which they are rewarded according to the value that they provide.

The happy compromise? Keep your day job, and start your own business.

One last thing. The combination of both questions can change your life. Seeking security based on fear will reduce your freedoms. Think: Patriot Act, Domestic Spying. Only a fearful population will consent to giving up these freedoms.

Seeking freedom based on love is the hidden doorway to the magical NOW.

The magic and joy is in the journey, AND the destination.

It is not an exclusive road.

You can drive whatever (business) vehicle you want. . .

See you there.
