“You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God.” ~ Wallace D. Wattles from The Science of Being Great
Ah. I love that. So, if you want to become great, you need to become *really* good at reading the Mind of God so you can fully connect and then express Her goodness.
Now, if you’re stressed or anxious or worried or fearful, you’re screwed. Why? Because having any of those emotions is kinda like ripping the plug out of the God socket in the wall. Imagine trying to turn on your refrigerator without plugging it in! You *need* that energy supply.
Even your computer, left unplugged for too long, will run out of juice. Then whaddya do? You plug it back in.
Same thing here. If you want to experience your greatness, you’ve gotta plug into Source and you can’t do that when you’re anxious/worried/afraid.
So, next time you’re feelin’ those emotions, know you just unplugged. And do something to plug back in. (Whether that’s running/smiling/laughing/petting your poochie/going for a walk/meditating/taking a bath or any of the infinite # of ways you can plug in!!)
