Life constantly offers us a choice: fear or love. What we focus on determines what overflows into our lives. Let’s take a moment to reflect on which one is filling your glass today.
The Glass of Fear and Love
Think of your perspective as a glass. Half of it holds love, and the other half carries fear. What you focus on determines what spills over.
When fear rises to the top, it clouds everything. It convinces you that love has vanished completely. Fear gets loud—so loud it drowns out everything else. Its mission? To keep you stuck exactly where you are.
When Fear Overflows
I’ve let fear spill over and cloud my vision more times than I’d like to admit. For a long time, fear felt like home—familiar and constant. It turned me into my own worst enemy. That overflow of fear created chaos, not just for me but for the people around me.
And honestly, it was easy to justify. “Everyone does it,” I’d tell myself. But the truth? I became exceptional at it. Fear let me wear so many masks, stacking up layers to shield myself from the one thing I truly wanted—love.
Love Quietly Waits
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand love or couldn’t offer it to others. My struggle was loving myself. The craziest part? No one knew. I was so good at wearing those masks that people saw someone who looked happy, thriving, and pouring love into the world. But inside, I felt like I didn’t deserve any of it. I became everything to everyone and nothing to myself.
Then, life handed me a wake-up call I wasn’t expecting. That brain tumor—my “brain buddy”—quieted the noise just enough for me to hear love calling my name. The wild part? I wasn’t even looking for it, or so I thought.
Love Doesn’t Shout
Love doesn’t demand your attention the way fear does. It doesn’t shout or try to control you. Love just is. It lingers in the glass, steady and constant, waiting patiently for you to notice.
It’s like hearing someone call your name in a crowded, noisy room. Amid all the chaos, you instinctively look around. That’s love—it gently calls out to you, hoping you’ll turn toward it. And when you do, everything starts to change.
Choosing Love Over Fear
The trick is balance. Fear will always be there, trying to tip the glass and spill into your world. But when you practice leaning into love, it starts to rise, filling the glass higher and higher. It leaves less room for fear.
And love doesn’t just stay inside you—it overflows, touching everyone you encounter. It’s not about eliminating fear completely. Fear will always linger at the edges, waiting for a chance to sneak back in. But you hold the power to decide what fills your glass.
With every thought, every choice, and every small moment of awareness, you can choose love.
