😱 TREE 567: Fear everywhere!
TREEpeat 119
Fear is just about the most powerful human motivator. Advertising uses fear to sell because it works. Politicians use fear to get votes. Religions use fear to make converts. Parents use fear to make their children behave. In business, fear is the basis of a million decisions every day.
Once in a while this is a good thing. There’s nothing wrong with giving your kid a healthy fear of being smooshed between the tarmac and an SUV.
More often, it leads to stupidity, anger, blame, unhappiness and more fear.
This is a good thing to keep in mind when interacting with other humans.
Be kind and patient. People are scared.

Life is good. I believe that. It comes to me in providing all my needs. I am in receiving mode and watching the possibilities weave through my day. I GET TO do this.
I create space in my own life. I can only create space for me. In that space, I have made room for others.
