I’ve lived mostly from fear…
I’ve been afraid of the dark… I’ve been afraid of … get this… the light. Yes, and everything in between. I’ve been afraid of what people might think and of what they might say! I’ve been afraid of leaving… and of being asked to leave. I’ve been afraid of myself and that maybe I don’t have what it takes. I’ve been afraid of dying and I’ve been afraid of living…. shall I go on or is it getting old for you too?
Did you know that it takes more energy to live from fear than it does to live fearlessly? At some point, we just need to decide where we want to focus our energy. Fearless living is a lot more enjoyable too… I can vouch for that! Where does the fear come from? From our minds. We think, therefore we fear. I’m not saying thinking is bad, but we need to start in our heart!
I’ve been thinking about Fearless Living… alot. I’ve been thinking about the shifts my clients make from living in fear to Fearless Living and I’ve noticed something…
- When we learn the sound of our own hearts, we move out of fear.
We need to stop long enough to recognize the voice of our own heart, and when we hear it…magic happens! We start to make decisions that are filled with life. We start to make decisions that take us toward our most wonderful life. We find ourselves making decisions that open us up to a higher expression of ourselves. We start to live with more purpose and passion… We share our spiritual gifts freely.
It’s worth investing the time to listen to our hearts.
My friend and colleague, Peter Schroeder, and I wrote a course, called “Lose Your Mind, Find Your Heart ©.” We’ve been teaching this course for over a year now with profound results in peoples lives. Losing your mind, frees you up to living a fearless life so when Guy Finley contacted Michelle and I to donate a gift to the sale of his book, I knew right away that my Lose Your Mind course was a perfect match.
If you don’t know Guy Finley, you need to. He’s written a book called, “The Essential Laws of Fearless Living.” I’m planning on using this book as a reference and teaching tool in a workshop I have planned for the spring. Michelle and I think you will enjoy this book as well, so if you buy Guy’s book, “The Essential Laws of Fearless Living” here, I will gift you with the first class for free.
Many of my colleagues are offering their generous gifts as well. Marianne Williamson and Joe Vitale are just two of the over 100 authors and leaders who are supporting Guy in the sale of his book. You will get all these gifts just through purchasing Guy’s book from our site.
I haven’t read Guy’s book yet, but I’m looking forward to it! Because Guy is a respected author and teacher, I feel confident in sharing this offer with you… This offer will only be available for one week, so if you are interested–check it out today!
Oh, and if you do purchase Guy’s book, let’s talk about it after we both read it!

Good Post!
There seem to be several aspects to fear, one comes from thought, one from emotion and one from the engrained programming that can become part of our bodies and our psyche’s. I’ll checkout the rest of your site to learn a little more.

Kevin, tell me more… How does this show up… I LOVE specifics. Is there a personal example you can share that highlights the different aspects?
Well, this article and comment got me thinking! I think I could give a few examples based on Kevin’s comment.
Mental Fear: If I eat this bag of cookies, as I intend to do, I may get hypoglycemic and feel bad for a few days, and maybe not do well at work, maybe my face will break out, etc. OR Last time I was in this situation, it ended badly, so I’m afraid to try it again.
Emotional Fear: Fear of the dark, fear of icky bugs even if they never hurt you, fear of men who stand too close and use certain body language… these would differ for each person, as they all would.
Cultural Fear: If you see anybody dressed like that or looking like that, you’d better cross to the other side of the street. OR Repeated advertising of unattainable body types that leads to fear that you’ll never measure up, and nobody will ever love you because you don’t look like that.
Its fun thinking up examples that have had some impact on my life, either by affecting me or by affecting others that I’ve observed. There is certainly crossover between categories, too, because the cultural influences create a subconscious emotional reaction of fear.
What’s the use of fear anyway? How can we identify whether it’s a fear we should listen to?
Right now all I do is try to escape from my life because I am so sad and unhappy and alone. But I know I have to do something to change that, nobody is going to change it for me.
