In situations where there is danger, there is also the companion of fear. At times when we must think carefully and use all our faculties, it is then we are the most vulnerable and the most likely to make mistakes. The danger can be a personal one, that is one of a health crisis or a loss, or it can be a natural disaster. It can be a small problem or a major one. The situation is still the same and that is the companion fear is there. How we react to the presence of an emotion we may or may not control is what is sometimes the difference between life and death. There must be a deep realization of strength within or a feeling that the fear will pass. Recognizing that allows you to think more rationally and to make decisions that will be supportive. Hold on to the reins of fear that it does not run away out of control. Try to think as clearly as possible. Be prepared to wrestle with it if necessary, but stay in control.
