Evolution or Devolution?
Avoiding Negative Results Is Not A Goal
"What you get by achieving your goals is not
as important as who you become by achieving
your goals." — Zig Ziglar

Hello AWMS subscriber :
There are only two forces that motivate us to take action — fear and love. Fear is an emotional feeling that signifies a lack of awareness or understanding, whether dangerous or not. But love is much, much more than a feeling.
Love is understanding. It is the expanded awareness that comes from a quiet, still, and peaceful mind. If love were only a feeling, the admonition to "Love your enemies" would make no sense. Kindness alone will not transform an enemy into an ally.
But when we recognize love as expanded awareness, we can ask ourselves, "Why are my enemies frightened by me? Perhaps there's something I can say or do to make them less afraid and less hostile."
Fear and love are polar opposites in that fear urges us to move away from what we do not want, while love encourages us to move toward whatever we desire. Love promotes growth and evolution, while fear debases our humanity and leads to devolution.
Fear confuses us, which undermines awareness and makes us more confused and ignorant. Love makes us smarter, which promotes peace and understanding.
So take a moment to ask yourself whether you primarily motivate yourself with fear or love. Are you moving toward the goals and results you aspire to reach, or are you simply trying to avoid despair and desolation.
Reflect on this! Trying to avoid negative results is not a goal.
