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．
