Cure for Fearing the Unknown   by Jane Powell  "Stop fearing the unknown and move forward."   Do these sound familiar? "I'm too old to do something new." "I won't be any good at it." "People will laugh."  Are these the kinds of things you tell yourself when opportunity strikes?   When you determine the result or the outcome before you even start, you have already considered rejection or failure. And, when this happens, it's easy to come up with excuses for not even trying.   The secret is to disconnect the outcome from the process. This is when you release the fear and give yourself the opportunity for success.   Think about it, you cannot possibly know the outcome before you try. Nobody can! So, trust yourself and get out there and do it. If you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will always be another day to say our "I love you's", And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget, Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear, Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.   Richness in return   You are spending one precious and irreplaceable day of your life today. What have you chosen to get from it?   Is your objective just to make it through the day with the least possible amount of effort? Then what you'll end up with is the least possible amount of fulfillment.   If someone bound you with chains and prevented you from doing anything, you would protest loudly and continuously. Yet if you choose on your own to do nothing with this day that is now yours, isn't that just as disagreeable, and perhaps even more so?   Think for a moment of all the good and valuable things you have available to you right now. You have life, you have awareness, you have a purpose, and you have the ability to make a difference.   You are perceptive and intelligent, adaptable and effective. You have desires aching to be fulfilled and values longing to be expressed.   And right here, right now, in this place as it is, with what you have, you can put it all to meaningful use. As you spend this valuable day, be sure to get some equally valuable and lasting richness in return.   Ralph Marston           - Dear Readers, " Morning Coffee " is a labor of love and meant to be shared with others to spread encouragement and inspiration.
