Where are you directing your faith?

The very first book I read toward my mediumship was The Complete Works of Florence Scovel Shinn. This quote was one of my biggest takeaways from the book.

My first retail job was Fossil for nearly 2 years. One day I was organizing the stock room when my manager asked me to climb the highest step of a ladder to place a bag on the highest shelf. I told him I couldn’t, explaining that “I’m terrified I’m going to fall! I’m afraid of heights!!” He was one of my most lovingly silly managers throughout all of my work experience and playfully started laughing at me. “Megan, you are scared of everything.” He said while giggling to himself. “Why are you scared of everything? You have so many fears!!!” I took the bus home that night and kept hearing his words repeating in my head. I really was scared of everything. At this time in my life I didn’t have a word for my anxiety but everything made me anxious, nervous and scared. I was homeless a year earlier so I was still getting my footing as a “normal” person but feeling out of place in my skin and in my life.

When my Uncle killed himself years later, my fears about everything were weighed down by grief. One morning I woke up and decided I didn’t want to keep living in this darkness anymore. So I made an appointment to see a healer and she recommended I read Florence Scovel Shinn.

This quote that I share with you today helped me release all of the stupid fears I held onto for most of my life. I realized being fearful and playing it “safe” to avoid all of my fears was actually hurting me. It was faith in fear instead of faith in a higher power protecting me.

Recently this quote has been repeated to me over and over again when I begin to stress about money, my business, my life purpose and my next step in life. When I begin to fear my unknown future, as most of us do, spirit reminds me of where I’m directing my faith.

So I share this all with you today to ask you: where are you directing your faith? You have to actively choose the direction and I assure you, faith in fear or faith in negativity will only give you more things to be fearful and negative about.

Choose the right direction. You won’t regret it.
