“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Future Fears Vs. Our Current Loss…
When we lose someone very close to us, as I did Jan, the future seems murky and foreboding.
Bad things have happened to us.
We project that bad things will then continue to happen to us.
And fear will control every decision we make and every action we take.
Until we accept our loss…
And accept responsibility for moving forward.
This requires the full force of GRACE—especially the C-word, Creativity.
If you have experienced a loss recently, these words may help you understand that you have a choice between living in fear of the future, and the grief from the loss you are feeling.
Please take a moment to read my story and the importance of Creativity in your journey towards Grace. See Creativity Resources…
I know it feels like you have been thrown into the lion’s den along with Daniel, but like the little girl in the picture above, you CAN and must make friends with those lions.
Creativity is the key.
God Bless,
Eric Richard Haas
