$ver#one stru%%les with fear.
It is health# to admit when #ou are afraid& worried& or an'ious. To do so re(uires stren%th.
0ou )ill ne1er get rid of fear.
If #ou are alive #ou have fear. You have two choices. You can den# #our fear and fail to
take action. )r #ou can face it and do what it takes to dissolve it.
)ne choice *rin%s miser#. The other *rin%s ha++iness. It,s that sim+le.
I %rew u+ on an -- acre +roduce farm with nine si*lin%s. We were re(uired to *e%in
workin% in the fields when were five #ears old. We worked in *oth %ood and *ad weather&
*efore and after school& and on Sunda#s and holida#s.
We worked nine months a #ear.
)n the da#s we weren,t +lantin%& weedin%& waterin% or harvestin%& our fruits and
ve%eta*les& we were at the Farmers .arket sellin% it.
.# si*lin%s and I would *e dro++ed off with two trucks of +roduce at /012 a.m. We were
told it needed to *e sold *# 3 +.m. when m# father +icked us u+.
We did what we were told& we succeeded.
When I was ver# #oun%& some customers fri%htened me. I would hel+ them *ut not sa#
much. )ver time& it *ecame easier and I learned how to *e friendl#& make 4okes and have
fun.
.# si*lin%s and I *ecame ver# skilled. It wouldn,t *e unusual to find us in char%e& in the
fields or at the market *# the a%e of 11.
We da# dreamed of runnin% awa# and findin% 4o*s where we %ot +aid *# the hour. We
weren,t ha++# with our small allowance.
It wasn,t until I was married and on m# own& that I reali5ed how man# rewards I rea+ed
from life on the farm.
I learned how to %row food and to love nature and all of its %lor#.
I learned how to show u+& +ro*lem solve& and work as +art of a team. I knew how to kee+
re+eat customers satisfied.
The biggest gift was that I learned how to work hard, overcome fear and do what was
required.
With this knowled%e& I started m# first successful *usiness when I was 1- #ears old. I,ve
alwa#s *een an entre+reneur.
Dont delay your dreams
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the tra
of thinking you have something to lose. ~ Steve o*s
7emem*er our time here is limited& our da#s are num*ered. We are not immortal.
It,s time to let %o of our fears and sei5e the da#. It,s time to take res+onsi*ilit# and live full8

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. !ction breeds confidence and courage. If you

)ne of the *i%%est fears ever#one has is not *ein% loved& as we are and for whom we are.
We thrive on love. We would die without it.
I think when we consistentl# +ut ourselves in a state of love or when we *ecome love& love
will find us.
We are either in a fearful state or a lovin% state at all times. These are the onl# two
emotions. Fll other emotions are derivatives of love or fear.
When I am de+ressed& sad& and an%r# or hurt& I am livin% in fear. If I am feelin% 4o#& +eace&
a++reciation or ha++iness& I am livin% in a state of love.
I would suggest that if you want to receive more love its a good idea to 7be8 more
loving.
This doesn,t mean that a lovin% +artner will come into #our life. That ma# *e de+endent
u+on #our soul,s +lan for this lifetime.
When we are immersed in love& we are livin% our true +ur+ose. We are healed and as we
heal we hel+ heal the world.
If we want love& we need to *e more %ivin%.
If we want love& we need to o+en our hearts to receive.
If we want love& we need to *e more lovin%.
Become the love that #ou seek and love will surround #ou& enfold #ou& +rotect #ou& and
heal #ou.
The followin% statements will hel+ #ou recogni4e which state youre in, love or fear.
.# fearful self envies #ou. .# lovin% self is ama5ed *# #ou.
