Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.

Les Brown

Sounds to me like maybe he’s saying we are making the whole thing up
What? you mean life?
Yes, exactly.

Is it possible? That we are creating our own spin on things?

You do have a mind garden, a place where you grow your thoughts. A place where you eat the fruit of those thoughts.

It could be your very own paradise – if paradise is what you choose to sow.

I’m not saying it doesn’t require work. It does.

“By the sweat of your brow
    you will eat your food”

Gen. 3:19a

Either way, good or bad, heaven or hell, while living in the physical world you are required to sweat in order to eat. And I’m not talking physical food here. I am talking about the fruit of your life.

In order to partake in this thing we call life, it requires your participation – your sweat, grit, and determination. And whether you realize it or not, you are always participating.

Always plowing away.

So why choose fear? If you tend to and water fear, it is bound to grow.
(That is the natural way of things.) Fear will then overtake your garden and choke out all the good stuff.

No room for living dreams in there. You’ll only be living your fears.

So remember – If you have to sweat (which of course you do)… sweat only the good stuff!
