Choose love over fear from "summary" of Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott
In Traveling Mercies, the idea of choosing love over fear is a recurring theme that resonates throughout the pages. It's a simple concept, yet one that holds profound significance in our lives. When faced with difficult decisions or challenging circumstances, it's easy to let fear dictate our actions. Fear can paralyze us, cloud our judgment, and prevent us from living authentically. Anne Lamott reminds us that love is a more powerful force than fear. Love has the ability to break through barriers, heal wounds, and bring peace to our hearts. When we choose love over fear, we open ourselves up to possibilities we never thought possible. We allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to connect with others on a deeper level, and to grow in ways we never imagined. The choice to choose love over fear is not always an easy one. It requires courage, faith, and a willingness to step outside of our comfort zones. But the rewards of choosing love are immeasurable. Love brings us closer to ourselves, to others, and to the divine presence within and around us. It's a transformative force that has the power to change our lives in ways we never thought possible. When we choose love over fear, we align ourselves with the highest good in the universe. We become vessels of love, spreading kindness, compassion, and understanding wherever we go. We become beacons of light in a world that can sometimes feel dark and hopeless. And in choosing love, we find our truest selves - our most authentic, most beautiful, most radiant selves.- As we journey through life, let us remember the power of choosing love over fear. Let us embrace the challenges, the uncertainties, and the doubts with love in our hearts. For in choosing love, we choose life, we choose light, and we choose the path that leads us back to our truest essence.
