We’ve all heard the warning at some point in life: “Go
ahead. What’s to fear?” Little did we know just how big those words would
impact our lives. They were meant to encourage and empower, but over time
became engrained in our minds causing doubt and making us wonder, what else is
there to fear? This has left some stuck with the same self-destructive fears
they’ve had since childhood; fears that now hold them back from success,
happiness, peace of mind, and even . . . love.Fear is a
natural survival skill that cannot be eliminated from our psyche—nor should it
be because it’s a part of our inner fabric. So then, how do we grow and achieve
the greatness life has to offer if our inherent fears keep trying to undermine
us, to slow us down and divert us? We live in a world of mass media coverage
and social networks that view the world with divisive intentions and opposing
beliefs all in an effort to stir fear and build support. Instead of
surrendering to our fears and obeying them, perhaps it’s time to listen and
learn.
Dennis Merritt Jones, DD has been
practicing and teaching New Thought principles for over 40 years. These lessons
serve to help people understand how their true inner nature can thrive and
prosper in the real world where others tend to make it difficult to succeed. In
this timely new book,
When Fear Speaks, Listen, Dr. Dennis
has identified the dominant “7 Messengers of Fear” that are alive and active
within us:
Anger, Worry, Judgement, Selfishness, Shame,
Loneliness, and UncertaintyThese fears shape our
perception of the world and cause us to make decisions that don’t always help
us achieve our best lives. But, what if our fears actually have a message for
us? What if we could learn how to listen to the message and learn from it? When
Fear Speaks, Listen will help you understand what your fears may be telling
you, and how to move forward and experience the joy of life.
