Different Thoughts About Fear

12/12/2014

What do you believe?

“Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is.” H. Jackson Browne

“Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.” James F. Bymes

“I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.” Louisa May Alcott

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” Marcus Aurelius

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what we really are.” Don Miguel Ruiz

"Fear appears in layers and is removed with LOVE not soap." Pete Egoscue

“Fear grows in darkness; if you think there’s a bogeyman around, turn on the light.” Dorothy Thompson

"Fear is excitement hidden by negative beliefs." Matt Whitehead

"We only fear what we don't understand." Unknown

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” Eleanor Roosevelt

“One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple do not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough.” Gay Hendricks

“You will fear the darkness only to the extent that you yourself are not providing light.” Marianne Williamson

"An unbalanced body fears motion." Matt Whitehead

"Suffering is optional, you have the power to choose between sickness and health, hope and fear." Pete Egoscue

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

I really just wanted to express my gratitude for what you do and your great help. And, great help it was!! When one is in constant great pain for as long as I was and so desperate for help...words cannot express what I want to say....how can I thank you enough? You helped change my life. 
– Carrie
I feel soooo limber and free in my hip movements and relaxed in my low back. Outstanding and I'm very impressed with the pdf's and the videos, great support to the client. Wonderful job, keep up the great job. – Mike
It is amazing! I've been in pain for 5 years and worked with other therapists and no one has been able to help me. Working with you I am 95% pain free! It feels so good to not have any pain and be able to walk and do things I haven't been able to do for years. Thank you so much! - Joni
