Fearless on All Fronts

12/5/2017

Be Fearless When Communicating With People


Be brave and attempt to make a connection with people. Misunderstandings should be talked through with both friends and enemies. Friendships are made stronger with open communication and wars can be prevented or delayed when you attempt to understand your opponents.

Fear and insecurity is what drives hatred. Fear of sharing resources, fear of the unknown or fear of an opponent’s strength can drive conflict. You must attempt fearless communication to understand your opponent’s reasons for thinking as they do. If it is unwise to attempt communication alone, take a friend or delegation of people to negotiate.

If you are unmarried and you like another unmarried person strongly, fearlessly tell that person how you feel. Do not let yourself be shy. Your mind will be healthier for letting your feelings known. The pain of keeping a love hidden is just as painful as rejection. The chances are high that the person you love will be flattered by your attention, even if that person does not reciprocate your feelings.

It is the responsibility of a community to allow for open debate on an issue before laws are made. This ensures leaders and community members understand all sides of an issue and how the proposed law will affect everyone. Do not fear that your proposal will be struck down. An idea with merit is made better with other people's input and a shared sense of ownership.

When you are afraid or feeling insecure, it is easy to project your feelings onto other people. It is easy to think those people are doing something out of spite or hatred against you. Do not submit to that tendency. Be fearless and try to see the situation from their point of view. Try to have faith that their rude behavior is not out of hatred but due to their lack of concern for your plight and a preoccupation with their own problems. Speak up and clearly state your needs. Persistently repeat your needs until they accommodate them or you learn that they can’t help you. If they can’t help, leave them and find someone who can help.


When you are in your community and you are advocating for your needs, remember a smile can defuse a tense encounter. Stay calm, do not fear punishment if you can’t get something accomplished in a timely manner and keep a courteous tone of voice as you negotiate with people to get your needs met.

Don’t Be Afraid to Feel Emotion

1/20/2018 Don’t Be Afraid to Feel Emotion Do not be ashamed to feel different kinds of emotion. To feel emotion is human. Love, desire, anger, jealousy, disappointment, sadness and fear are only a few of the emotions we experience in life. It is alright to cry. But, don’t let these emotions cause you to do destructive or irresponsible acts. You can feel an emotion as long as it doesn’t cause you to do sinful behavior. Do not act on emotions that are destructive. Emotions are motivators. Make sure they cause you to do positive actions rather than destructive ones. If you are in love, work on developing a skill that will impress the person you are courting. If you are jealous, work on obtaining something similar to what causes your jealousy. If you are angry, try talking out your problem with your opponent. If you are sad, try spending time with people you love and appreciate the blessings you have. If you are afraid, be brave and confront your fear or try using a new strate...

Love

12/7/2017 Love Women and men, do not be the paramour of a married man or woman. There are many single people in the world and you will find one who is right for you to marry. Marriage is sacred. It is an agreement that two people will stay together as partners. Do not cheapen yourself by being a subordinate lover to someone. Do not cheapen your respect for the object of your affection by driving him or her to take on a paramour. Do not cheapen the love and heartache you feel by turning it into lust. If the object of your affection truly is a worthy match to you, the friendship and connection you share can manifest in non-sexual ways later in life. Separate yourself from your temptation. God will help you find a worthy and available spouse. Find appropriate people and resources to build your life in an upright way. Time heals all wounds. It calms all desires. Given enough time, it can end jealousy because eventually the situation becomes irrelevant to your life. Time helps pe...

Circle

April 22, 2017  Earth Day  The Circle: The symbol of the circle has great meaning. It represents recycling, renewal and the spiral cycling of time. History repeats itself. It also represents the regenerative process.  Recycling: We must expect each other to reduce, reuse and recycle.  Tell your story: We must remember that talking about our times of suffering is good for mental health. Telling the story of your personal experience with adversity to empathetic listeners is a personal obligation, because it informs and prepares the listeners for adversity that may come into their own lives. It is equally an obligation for people to listen to someone who needs to tell their story.  Write: Each one of us must write our thoughts and feeling regularly. Journaling helps the mind coalesce ideas into complete thoughts. People are more likely to take action to better their world when they have developed complete ideas from their experiences. Journaling can b...
