Action over Fear and Worry

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Worry or Fear?

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

— Mark Twain —

  We all have fear, it is an emotion/feeling all human beings have. How we handle our fear is the difference maker. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@Eaglelaunch Proverbs 4:6, “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” (NLT)

Faith or Worry

Minds and Worry

Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson —

  A life of faith also has no time for worries. Are you a worrier? Try expanding your mind and faith by choosing to let go and let God…and let Him keep it 🙂 P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Matthew 6:27, “And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”
