“The war raging inside our mind between the Saboteurs and Sage, is ultimately a war between the two primal forces that make life possible. The two primal forces are—you guessed it: Fear and Love.
All saboteurs are rooted in fear: fear of failure, fear of poverty, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of harm, fear of not mattering—and ultimately, fear of death.
On the other hand, the Sage operates entirely on love. When you think about it, the Sage Perspective, that everything can be turned into a gift and opportunity, is based on love for the unfolding mystery of life, and finding the gift in whatever happens.
Of the 5 Sage powers, Empathize is love for yourself and others. Explore is love for discovery. Innovate is love for possibilities. Navigate is love for meaning and purpose. And Activate is love for making things happen.
Today, whenever you feel any negative emotion, ranging from anxiety and stress to anger, shame, guilt or blame, ask yourself what the underlying fear might be. And then, choose something to love instead: something to love about yourself or the situation or person in front of you, so you begin to shift to Sage. Today, choose Love!”
