Peace is the absence of fear.
Fear keeps us focused on the future, on some dreaded event that may never happen. But when we are focused on the future we are not present in our lives now.
Those who let themselves be guided by fear will find that it has a cost. Fear of making mistakes keeps us from being creative. Fear of other people keeps us from working in harmony with them.
Because fear clouds our judgment, decisions we make when we are fearful may not serve us well.
Fear can be contagious, and it is hard to avoid in this world. In order to have peace we will have to learn to ignore it, overcome it, or perhaps just laugh at it.
Today, notice when those around you are acting out of fear.
