Did you know the antidote? It's in the bible and it says

'Perfect love casts out all fear'. Looks like love and fear may oppose one another.

I've been told my house will collapse, soon!!

Enabled them to charge me 10's of thousands of dollars.

I had reason to believe we needed to do it...various critters trying to 'break in, set up free rent'. So, I did it. Now warned that more collapse is eminent until further large amounts are paid.

Drew the line. We'll do some things ourselves.

Knowing I'm definitely going to die combats fear.

Loved his points that it's robbing us to enhance them.

Don't you love that song 'Que Sera, sera'? A great answer.

It can be good to get a second opinion from a knowledgeable person who cannot profit from any remediation you choose to do. I've done battle with various critters in my years of home ownership. I finally realized the critters were merely showing us where the problems were. Good luck with the house!

Chronic fear goes hand in hand with chronic stress that destroys the immune system! Then they inject RNA and speed up the progress!

Dr Coleman, I did buy your book and read it and took your test and answered no to all your stress questions. Ok, I smiled at the one about guns, this is Florida, ‘everyone’ has guns, we have some people who have a concealed carry license and have carried for more than 20 years without ever having pulled it out and gone crazy or stupid!

.

I used to be stressed from self-imposed deadlines; borrow a lot of money short term to develop a business, force your people to meet impossible deadlines, etc.

.

I once fired half the people who worked for me because they would not work harder, longer and faster and get their job done now! No excuses. Hired new ones and moved on.

.

I lost a very good friend during that time because she told me that I was a hopeless “workaholic, alcoholic, sexaholic, jerk.” “With the emotional maturity of a 15-year-old.” She was correct of course, everything but the “jerk” part. I did not see it until her insightful remarks woke me up. 100 hour work weeks seem to be stressful on others.

.

“Tis better to hear or read those words of advice then to think and muse about them in those 5 minutes of consciousness that one might have after one’s heart stops beating from that stress induced heart attack.

.

What amazing insight you have on so many questions. The advice in your book would be good for those who suffer from stress if they would just turn off their TV’s, read your book, go for a run and ponder your wisdom.

When parting, do not say “stay safe ,” say “stay brave, stay free.” The former makes all of us remember to be afraid.

Yes, I am. The fear of full unemployability consumes me.

Fear deriving from religious superstition is how the priests pull the shade of mystery over the heads of their victims. It's what witch doctors do.

What a horror mere 'religion(s) is/are. Carl Marx was right about ONE thing..."Religion IS the opiate of the masses."

What a vast difference there is between man-made religions and Biblical spirituality. There's no comparison. Religion brings nothing but unholy fear and doubt OR self-righteousness; where a true, Biblical relationship with God through His Son Jesus bring temporal and eternal life and peace.
