More Gratitude - Less Fear
In Time-Flying: How to Employ The Law of Perspective To Master Manifesting, Heather Vale says:
Now that I understand more about how fear and gratitude work in opposition to one another, I believe it’s possible to lessen the difference between two legs of a trip by applying more gratitude (and hence less fear or apprehension) on the way out.
Why should we be distracted from the beauty of the journey by worrying about what hasn’t happened… or what we haven’t yet seen or experienced? I always say that worry is the stupidest feeling around, because it doesn’t stop what we’re worried about from happening, and in fact might make it happen because of the energy we’re putting into it. So why not just enjoy and be grateful for the journey into the unknown, for the adventure it brings us? This applies to life as a whole as well; since life is truly a journey, not a destination, wouldn’t we be able to enjoy it more by being grateful, inspired, and not scared?
As I enter a new phase of my life, I’m making a personal commitment to let go of control a little bit and be more grateful for everything that comes my way, as unexpected as it may be. And interestingly enough, as I let go of my fear of the unexpected, the outcome always becomes more expected… and manifests exactly the way I wanted it to.
And if sharing my perspective on perspective has inspired you to enjoy life a little - or a lot - then hold on for a fascinating ride, because time is about to fly even more for both of us.

Brightfeather - Thanks so for the reminder!
I had not actually ever considered that “fear and gratitude work in opposition to one another” (though it now is amazingly obvious). I do know, tho, how much gratitude calls forth the ‘power of increase’.
Gratitude so opens our heart (we simply can not stay stingy and small.. or fearful!!) and it calls forth/opens us to the energies that bless and increase that for which we are grateful!
(Hmm. I think it also activates the ‘power of transformation’: When we are grateful, in faith, for that which has wounded us, that which we are grateful for cannot continue to be a ‘problem’ but must become the Gift!)
Thank you for the reminder, for the wisdom, for the blessing!
