If we are ALL going to die one day, why is fear stopping us?

Well, there are many kinds of fear.

It depends.

Fear of death, fear of regret, fear of guilt and so on.

Thanks

Because up until we are a teenager, most of us are in that childlike state where we fear little, and are incurably curious. Then come's puberty, parents and rules, negative programming and mostly poor quality influences.

If you're really lucky and have some great mentors during this period, you'll get through mildly unscathed, for the majority they'll need some reprogramming - Brian Tracy to help them with their goals, T Harv Eker and Robert Kyosaki to correct their money blueprint, Jack Canfield to relay the success principles, and Napoleon Hill to think and grow rich.

Oh and fear? Well we need Susan Jeffers (RIP) and her seminal Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway for that.

Thanks

That's the answer because none of us really believe we will cease to exist, we know it logically but we don't believe it down deep, so we have fear.

Can't remember who but some comedian said,
"I ain't gonna regret doing that when I'm dead.....why?.... because I freaking CAN'T..."

  People know they are going to die, but then are fearful about things because we don't want to die right now. It is something that can wait.

  That is a less-than-accurate statement. When you die, you're done.

I think the greatest fear comes from the fear of failure. Because we will take a considerably amount of damage when we failed, the collateral damage after trying will cost us good amount of money, time, and energy. SO, when reality is far from expectation, we will fear the future. Only the brave one can survive this problem.

Fear is a matter of choice. It's when you decide to be afraid (unconsciously) that fear takes place. I mean, fear is your friend. Without it, you wouldn't recognize negative effects, danger or ill will. It's our mind that's amplifying things a bit.

To your question:

It's the purpose, the fact that you still have reason to live that makes you fear the end.

There's no point being brave and commit suicide. The wise knows the before-hand and knows how to prepare for it.

I agree. Fear of failure is definitely a common one.

For many people failure can actually be "painful" and most people will try and avoid pain at all costs, rather than actually facing it head on and learning something from the experience. See, it's not actually failure that is holding people back ¾ it's their perception (or relationship, if you like) of failure.

One of my favourite quotations from IBM Founder, Thomas J. Watson is: "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure."

Success, then, is built on failure, and every time you learn something from failure you take a massive step in the direction of your goals/dreams/etc. (Essentially, you're doubling you rate of progress.)

Being confronted by the prospect that you may die or, actually, that you are dying can be a strong motivator into making the most of your life and all the time you have left. : )

"Every man dies, not every man really lives." ¾ Mel Gibson, Braveheart.

I love this quote I heard from Bob Proctor," Most of us tip toe through life hoping to make it safely to death"

We are conditioned, my love, to be fearful. It takes a real awakening to step out of man made fears-mass consciousness and into individual thinking-fearlessness. We were born natural risk takers. The rest we were taught.

Thanks

There is fear even when you breath. Who knows you will due to heart attack?

There is fear only when there is risk. When you risk your money on any product, you have the fear about its quality.

When you risk to sell a product, you have the fear for refund without getting your product back.

Risk and fear are two very important things needed for success. If you're ready to risk your efforts abd money and dodge the fear of negative consequenses, no one can stop you from being successful.

Thanks
