All the recent events we are facing, from Covid and politics to protests and riots, are definitely playing on the fears of most everyone. I have been doing a great deal of reflection lately about life as I am sure are most of you. As I am retired from my first profession and starting a new one, I must admit that I am searching for a new meaning and purpose in my life. I am seeing a need to help people live their lives free from the fear that all life’s chaos can bring.
One thing that bothers me most is the division we have within our country today. We have always had differences of opinion, but the rhetoric has become much harsher than in my previous years. I believe fear is the major motivator in creating most of this division. Political movements from minority populations stem from fears of being oppressed. Socialistic ideas are taking hold of people that fear financial inequality. Majority populations fear how changes to the current system could change life as they have always known. And this Covid pandemic undoubtedly brings fear to everyone regarding their own health and their loved ones’.
I have decided the spend the next few weeks writing articles on “Fearless Living” based on my experiences and truths of life that I have learned. My ideas will center around three core principles of Faith, Health and Being. Hopefully these will be of benefit to you and will help you find a way to not only survive but thrive during these trying times.
