I guess, to put it bluntly, we're all ultimately afraid of death (terrible thing to write at this hour of the morning), but we translate that into all the other things we are afraid of. It's hard to remove that emotion, but the first step is to be aware of where it's tripping you up. Your post was really meaningful to me... I am aware of the underlying fear that holds me back or drives me forward, and I really don't like what it does to me. It causes stress and anger, and most often the anger is at myself. It takes real conscious thinking to stay aware and focus on the truth that "now" is what's here and what we have, and we need to make the now meaningful and positive. I am looking forward to your book... I do hope it will be coming out soon! Fear is a primary emotion that is the source of most negative secondary emotions.

Thanks for giving voice to what I've recently been feeling. I had a lightbulb moment recently and am now trying to re-work some "old patterns" into new, positive ones and recognize that my "fear of failure" has prevented me from doing all kinds of good stuff. Your book can't come out soon enough for me! =) I too felt like you could have been writing about me, you hit ALL the nails on the head! Thanks for giving voice to what I’ve recently been feeling.

I am definately guilty of making decisions out of fear. I had a heart to heart with a friend about 6 months ago and she said that I exhibited a fear of success. And that some self sabotage was going on in my life. Definately a wake up call for me!<br/>thanks for today post, definately made me think! Can't wait for the new book!
