Fear is the opposite of love. Someone who always chooses love has little occasion to fear. After all, if you are surrounded by love, what is there to fear? You may say, but what if x or y happens, and I would say, let it first happen and see how you will feel then. What use is it to speculate how you might feel in a situation if the anticipated outcome is likely quite different from the experience you end up having.
My wife once went on a business trip even though she was quite sick. When she was at the Spanish president's office she collapsed, only to find that this camp had an entire medical support staff and they were delighted to take care of her. Afterwards she said how touched she was by the generosity, kindness and attention she received on that day. So had you asked her before the incident happened, she probably would have said that collapsing in a business meeting must be one of the worst possible situations to be in. Yet, when it happened all she could remember was the incredible kindness she received. Fear is a mental product, whereas love is real. Do not fear!
