The Book of Fear Billy Pedro

As humans, our thought processes, actions and reactions, outcomes and the psychological effects of our fear experiences influence our beliefs, ethics, lifestyle and other factors. These life changing experiences and factors determine our behaviour in communication and interaction with our environment, whether logical or illogical. As we grow, learn and develop our own environment, we choose to avoid, confront, ignore or learn to live with our fears. Our ability to climb, ride, fly, jump, drive, solve equations and problems, sleep alone, sleep in the dark, walk in the dark, be alone and coexist with others are all signs of us understanding and dealing with our fears. The most intriguing part of our lives is that we voluntarily believe that our fear is a major problem and a hindrance to us making our goals attainable. We activate our liberation, wisdom and courage to handle all our fears and get better results from them when we educate ourselves about our fears, know how to work through them and change our attitude towards them. We become completely powerful in our own fear when we are able to retrace our steps, and listen to our minds by paying attention to our own emotions and reactions to see the result for what it is rather than what others say it should be. Reading this book will help us put our fear reactions in context, reflect on our reactions which are birthed from situations of perceived fear, and dissect the often unrecognised; counter-reactions to fear that make our situation affect our actions.
