“What is fear but a power we give to someone or something to hurt us. When we realize life is eternal and we can never be hurt or truly die, the belief in fear will no longer exist. It is this truthful lesson in one of our incarnations which ultimately overcomes fear. Once this truth is uncovered, there is only love, compassion, gratitude and peace.” ~ Chris W Metz

“There is no single technique that can be used for overcoming fear. It would seem necessary to go through a series of stages before accepting our situation and by going through this process we are able to start overcoming our fear. Once we have accepted our situation we can then work on removing ourselves from it. Developing a purpose or target allows us to pull ourselves towards something other than our current circumstances. Once we have established a goal it allows us to focus on something beyond our current state. One of the most common attributes of being deep in the abyss is indecision and lethargy. When we have a goal to achieve or a plan to be implemented then we start to motivate towards something different. Eventually we dispel fear by changing our belief about it.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"The potential seeds of friendship are planted each time two people meet. They sprout through kindness, respect and authenticity and continue to grow by every loving and considerate gesture through time. Their roots grow wide celebrating each others joys and grow deep in sharing each others vulnerability and pain. Once firmly established and nurtured through time, they are not uprooted easily." ~ Chris W Metz

"There are very few opportunities in life to show someone you really care about them. During times of grief, serious health issues, extreme good fortune or financial calamity, you have the unique and rare opportunity to show someone how much you care. Make no mistake, these are opportunities to show the
authenticity of your friendship, or the extent of your insincerity.” ~ Chris W Metz

“Countless wishes come across our radar, if we do not respond to them who will? We have the greatest impact on those around us, we should seek out these opportunities
eagerly. If we deny the request of a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member and subsequently send a check to another cause outside of our network, then what good is our association within our own sphere? Where is the integrity of our mission to give and nurture within our own relationships?” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

Giving of one’s time is far more valuable due to its limited supply. however, the gift that has the greatest potential to change a life, is the gift of spiritual knowledge. With this knowledge we come to understand we have everything we could possibly desire and it can never be taken from us.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“There is no substitution for the care and love that goes into a gesture…You can’t expect a result that is greater than the effort. This is true in all of life. To think that our gesture or gift will mean something more than the effort we put into it, is to truly deceive ourselves, and yet this is what many of us do in life. We put forth very little effort expecting something more in return. We cannot feign gratitude and thoughtfulness, it is either a genuine feeling or it is a hollow gesture.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Each experience in the abyss contains the great lessons in life. These can only be appreciated by looking back with gratitude on what we have learned from the experience. We must value these lessons as they renew and deepen our faith, strengthen our relationships and allow us to look upon life and the world with a new perspective. When we reflect on the person we are now we must realize we are the result of our trials and tribulations in life. Our character is not
strengthened because of all the experiences when things were normal and uneventful. We will find our character and who we are as a person came about as a result of our lessons in life. We are forged in our moments of challenge and difficulties. If we feel that our life has been nothing but trials and tribulations then we should rejoice in the bounty of lessons learned so far. However, if we continue to experience the same problems over and over again it means that we have not yet learned and appreciated a particular lesson.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“If we learn to appreciate and use what we are given, we tend to be rewarded with more. In nature this is evident in all symbiotic relationships. As an organism becomes willing to work in harmony with another, both end up benefiting, creating more complex relationships in which things flow back and forth. What we focus on and harmonize with creates a stronger bond between both.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“When we demand things through entitlement, the happiness derived from receiving never occurs. This in turn produces a state of wanting and expecting things without any joy from acquiring them. The true irony of living this way, is appreciation only comes when everything that was taken for granted is gone.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“If one cannot be thankful for what they have, they will never appreciate more. One of the most fundamental lessons we learn in life is how to be happy. If we think happiness comes from expecting and fulfilling every
material wish, we are not likely to be happy at all. The more we come to expect from people, the less likely we are to receive from them, as entitlement is a negative, self-absorbed, selfish state of mind. Only when we stop expecting things from people, are they able to surprise us with their generosity.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“To find enlightenment we must affirm our belief we are a loving person. What do loving people do? They live in a state of gratitude. How do we feel when we are thankful for everything? We begin to see the magic and wonder in our life, the small blessings along with the large. We cannot fake these types of feelings or attitudes; it would be foolish to think we could fool ourselves. If we affirm to ourselves we are a loving person and then ignore opportunities to express that belief in our lives than the affirmation or belief is hollow.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Gratitude produces a content state through the acknowledgement of all good things in our life. It also has the beneficial effect of combating negative emotions as it is difficult to be grateful and angry or depressed at the same time. When we fill ourselves up with the acknowledgement and recognition of all that is good, we allow the feeling of abundance to overflow into our lives. This becomes the conduit for all good things to affect the world around us. By sharing our joy and happiness, instead of anger and resentment common with a scarcity state of mind, we attract to ourselves more positive things in life. This self-reinforcing cycle allows us to focus on what makes us happy and that which we focus on, we
get more of.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“At times we may find it difficult to rid ourselves of pessimism. By feeling this way our beliefs create the conditions to receive more of the same. The best technique for shifting doubt and pessimism to optimism is through gratitude, it washes away negativity by displacing it. This is best illustrated by the water the flowers not the weeds philosophy. To water those aspects of life we are thankful for assist their growth going forward. Withholding the water of thought and recognition from the undesirable aspects of life allows them to wither away and die. Searching life for all that is good effectively dispels the dark emotions. We should always be thankful for many things such as family, friends, shelter, food, etc.. When all else fails we can always be thankful for the wonderful gift of life and the many experiences it provides.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
