Fear is a reaction.
Courage is a decision.
I love it!

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

I TALK AN SAY STUPID STUFF BEFORE I CAN SEE I DO I AM PRAYING FOR EVERY ONE I JUST GOT BENT HEARING ABOUT BABIES BEING KILLED AND THE VIOLENCE THAT HAS WENT BEFORE ME I REPENT I PRAY FOR FOR GIVENESS AND FOR PEACE JOY AND LOVE 
AND FOR EVERY ONE I DISAGREE WITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY HOLY NAME AMEN Bobby Jean 
AMEN
That’s a good start however I asked you to pray for and ask god to bless the person that most hurt you. I found that when I pray for the person I’m mad at for hurting me it makes it easier for me to forgive them.
Pray with me: dear Lord I come to you asking you to bless and to bring prosperity to Bruce. Lord I pray that anything Bruce touches come to fruition and that Bruce can use use your blessing to honor you Lord and bless others with whatever you give to him. Bless Bruce with peace, joy and patience keeping him safe from all harm and trouble and in your company Lord. In Jesus name I pray Amen
Edit: stupid me left Jesus out first time
Can YOU do that Bobbyjean?

You think it’s easy for me? Its not and I do it anyways because it helps to heal me, helps me to let go and not think about it.

I’m not asking you to kneel before a non believer. I’m asking you to kneel before god and to follow him.

The monitors are playing games and I just do not give a crap about making people feel fuzzy for pizazz in my hair and tell me it’s raining be blessed I AM and stay frosty
@David38 I talk a lot about how thoughts affect everything: mood, emotions, behaviors, physiology. And the fact that we can change our thoughts! We are not slaves to old ways of thinking. We can also change beliefs and old messages we received as kids or along the way. THAT is freedom!

@BeanCounter I had never considered that before. I saw that quote and WOW. Often, there is time to make a decision to be brave or not. Sometimes, it seems it is either in the person, or not. Sometimes fear wins. It’s all about consciousness.
And re: CCW I think courage may include knowing when to leave, avoid, deflect and knowing when to take action. Then it’s all about discernment, decision, muscle memory, and training showing up.
What did I leave out?
oh and this:

@RAYMOND45 So true. Physical, organic, or traumatic changes to the brain are a whole other story. Even that, you can see it in different ways…if you are able.

THAT is what “free will” actually means. Being capable of making a decision that goes counter to belief, training, experience, even ingrained patterns of thought and instinct. It isn’t the simplistic ‘do-whatever-you-want’ idea that many take it to be.
