I’m currently writing my second book called Live Free.  What does it mean to live free?  To live free is to live life with no fear. 

 

I stumbled upon the secret to this about six months ago.  Can you imagine living life with no fear? 

 

If you are like most people, when you decide to be, do or have something that you never had before, all of a sudden little voices pop up in your head and say: “Who do you think you are?”, “I can’t do that!”, “What if it doesn’t work?”, “What if he says no?”, “What if I fail?”, “What if I get hurt?”, or one of a million other things.  The fear builds up and slows you down or stops you completely.  Pretty soon it was a bright idea that you had a long time ago and maybe it would have worked but…

 

But what if those little voices of doubt or uncertainty weren’t there?  Or what if, in spite of those little voices, you are able to be, do or have what it is you want?  What would this life of yours look like?  Would this not be living free?

 

Close your eyes and relish in this delightful thought for a moment.  If you’re anything like me, your shoulders just dropped, your breathing is deep and relaxed and you have a smile on your face.  Come on, give it a try.  Go ahead and close your eyes. 

 

If you’re not willing to do this, then ask yourself why?  The reason you picked this article is because you have an issue with fear or perhaps a curiosity about what this article could possibly reveal.  So why not commit to exploiting this article to the fullest.  Close your eyes and relish.

 

So who is it that you want to be?  What is it that you want to do?   What is it that you want to have?  There is no limit!  Let your imagination go.  Dream!  Dream BIG!

 

If you’re anything like me, you’ve lived with – and – in-fear all of your life. 

 

When I was a little girl I was very quiet.  People thought I was shy but in reality I was just too afraid to say anything.  So I never said anything.  Not even to my parents.  They would never know what was going on with me because I was too afraid of speaking with them.

 

More recently I’ve had the dream of making my first feature film.  Actually, I’ve had this dream for over five years now.  What has stopped me?  I’ll give you one guess!  You got it!  FEAR!  Fear of the unknown.  Fear of not knowing what to do.

  Fear of making a mistake.  Fear of getting hurt or laughed at if it’s not good.  Fear of not being able to handle whatever happens.  Or even better yet, fear of the known.  Fear of what happened in the past in similar situations.  And on and on.  As you can see, I’ve had a major battle raging inside of me for all of my life and that is why this discovery is paramount for me and why I want to share it with as many people as I can.

 

Fear can stop you at any stage and at any age.  It can prevent you from living your dream, from being all that you can be and from having all that you deserve.  It can stop you from making a positive difference in the world. 

 

My two examples of how fear has affected my life are but a miniscule fraction of how fear debilitates us and causes nothing but negative in today’s modern society.

 

I invite you to join me in my series of articles that will bust this black box wide open and give you the insight and the tools to live beyond or without fear.  To Live Free.

 

I also talk about fear and how you can live without it in my current book entitled Live Your Dream, Now – The recipe for happy, fulfilling, stress-free living.  It is available as an e-book at the www.liveyourdreamnow-thebook.com.

 

Until next time, I invite you to consider how fear has affected your life in the past and what your life will be like once you Live Free.
