A Simple Reason for Fear
By Darryl Duke. Filed in Belief |Tags: faith, finding happiness, Happiness
I wrote a lot about fear in my book, but I thought I’d share something I read a long time ago in the literature of Alcoholics Anonymous that I wish I would have included in my book. It basically suggested that we were afraid we wouldn’t get something we wanted or that we would lose something we already had. I like this because it is a simple reason why some of us can feel fearful in our lives from time to time, especially considering how things seem to be today. However, there is something else I read a long time ago about fear that I did include in my book, and it has helped me many times in overcoming my fears. “The only thing that I have found that helps me with my fear is faith.” I then added “Faith there is something rather than nothing that created the universe and life for a reason. I call it God. And I pray to it in the shower.” I am beginning to believe more and more that however you choose to define it, faith can help us be less fearful today, and in my experience also be happier in our lives.
