Learn to Be Fearless

The following is an excerpt from the book I am currently working on, "How to Always Be Unhappy."

Especially in uncertain economic times, it’s not difficult for so many people to allow fear to enter, overcome, and control their lives. We fear losing what we have and, perhaps, losing what we have yet to attain. We have worked hard towards goals and have built a foundation on which to support our goals and dreams but we are unsure of our outcomes. There are certain comforts, such as peace of mind and financial stability, which we acquire through the maturation process of our lives. However, many times we become comfortable because we fear loss. Many people become complacent with their routine, habits, and ways of life because it has worked well enough for them so far in their lives.

When did “well enough” become the best way to make you happy? As we have discussed, we all must be rational and realistic about our goals and dreams in life, as wanting can lead us mad and cause us to go astray. Fear, too, can lead us down this path because it prevents us from acting and leaves us waiting alone with our wants. If we are able to identify and analyze our fears, we’re able to more effectively address how they affect our lives, decisions, and futures.
