Is your life ruled by love or by fear?Love and fear are two opposite feelings that shape our life in very different ways.Most of us are controlled by both of them.However,even a tiny change towards love and away from fear can bring more happiness.Here are some suggestions towards love.
Cultivate Gratitude(培养感恩之心)
Gratitude makes us feel happier.If you remember to be thankful for the blessings(赐福)of your life,you will feel more connected to yourself and others.When you let worries go and have gratitude instead,love appears quickly.
Test the Reality of Fear
Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight.A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality.Write down three things that you're afraid of.Then look at each point and ask yourself, "Is this fear really grounded(基于)in reality?" I know when I do this,I often find that fears aren't reasonable.
Take Action
Taking action is the best way to control fear.For example,if you are not feeling well,but you don't go to a doctor,you may imagine that you are having a serious health problem.Once you've been to a doctor,talked about the problems and dealt with them one by one,your fear will become smaller and even disappear.

The stranger looked at the gardener,(3) he didn't reply and continued to pick fruits.The gardener shouted angrily, "You have no right to take the fruits(4) my permission(允许).Come down at once!"
The stranger answered, "Why (5) I come down?This is the garden of God and I'm the servant(仆人)of God,so I have the right to pick these fruits. "The gardener was surprised at his (6) and had a good idea.He told the stranger (7) down from the tree.When the stranger climbed down,the gardener began to beat him with a stick.The stranger shouted loudly, "Why are you beating me?You have no right to do this!"
The gardener paid (8) attention and continued beating him.The stranger shouted, "Aren't you afraid of God?" The gardener answered, "Why should I be afraid?The stick in my hand belongs to God and I'm the servant of God.So I have the right to beat you."The stranger was ashamed(羞愧)and said, "(9) .Don't beat me,I'm sorry for taking the fruits. "The gardener smiled and said, "Don't use (10) name to justify(辩解)your wrong actions."
When I was a boy,I used to love walking in the (1) around my house.My mom warned me several times(2) to travel so far or I would lose the way.Being a naughty(淘气的)boy,however,I soon found (3) walking further and further away,testing(4) I could go into the woods without getting lost.But once after losing my way for two hours,I decided to leave a mark the next time I went for a walk.
The next day I decided to try it.I walked into the woods(5) the house couldn't be seen.Then I broke a small branch(树枝)to mark my place.I walked further and broke many branches.After a while I got tired and decided to return.When I turned around,I(6) found my way home,but I felt(7) rather than being proud.I could see the mark of destruction(破坏)that I left in the woods.I promised never to do that again.Instead,I started to value my time alone in the woods.I'd sit by the streams(小溪)and (8) their beautiful singing.I'd bend down(弯下腰)to (9) the flowers.
I've tried to leave marks of kindness and goodness since then.I've tried to show others (10) they can do the same.May you always leave marks of joy in your life.
