Love or Fear

Love or fear? Which do you choose? As I was reflecting on what the topic could be for this podcast episode I became aware that we’ve talked a lot about fear. And, rightly so… I believe that at the heart of all anxiety, depression, self-hatred, feelings of unworthiness… if we go deep enough, if we peel back enough layers… we always find fear at their root. But I find myself being a bit concerned about focusing on fear so much… I liken my concern to the same reason I don’t believe all those anti-whatever campaigns will ever be effective – anti-drugs, anti-cancer, anti-war and on and on.

Where are you going to get by trying to get rid of the darkness? So in today’s episode I want to bring in the light. In a sense we’re still talking about fear… but we’re approaching it differently.

The Only Problem You Really Have

What’s the only problem you really have? What is the one illusion that most of us believe, that if we were to question it, to let go of it, would solve all of our so-called problems? Big set-up, I know. Have a listen to this podcast episode and decide for yourself if I “deliver’ on the answer .
