RANDY PERDUE


               •       The fear of criticism.

               •       The fear of ill health.

               •       The fear of losing someone.

               •       The fear of old age.

               •       The fear of death.

               These are core fears. As we talked about earlier,
               they are learned. Depending on how we were
               raised or what we’ve experienced, these fears
               can affect us to a greater or lesser degree.

               the irrational and negative thought patterns that
               trigger  survival  mode  and  constrict  the  hope
               around us? How do we live struggle free?

               your brain. It doesn’t matter if you’re eighteen
               or  eighty,  the  negative  thoughts  that  run
               through your brain can be recognized, rejected,
               and replaced.
               Let’s take a look at how that’s accomplished:


               Fear is connected to our lens. It has to do with
               how we see things, and especially, how we see
               ourselves. For the most part, we see situations
