Our Fear of Death is Paralyzing – Feel it and plan anyway!

December 18, 2018 By sgarrett Leave a Comment

When it comes to end of life preparations, being All Ready to Go, we here in North America, British Columbia more specifically are woefully under prepared! 17% of us have some degree of readiness when it comes to planning for our death – most of us do not.

Our lack of planning is for the most part a direct result of our fear of dying.

“Unless the West changes their idea that there is only one life, this hypocrisy, this clinging, this fear of death cannot be changed.”
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Not this is a tall order and in a way not the point, though ‘knowing’ that death is not the end of a spiritual life would be a help for sure. In the world of personal growth and personal motivation there is an expression that goes something like this;

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

Written by Susan Jeffries author of a book by the same title. Here is a little more of what she wrote; “Are you afraid of making decisions . . . asking your boss for a raise . . . leaving an unfulfilling relationship . . . facing the future? Whatever your fear, here is your chance to push through it once and for all. In this enduring guide to self-empowerment, Dr. Susan Jeffers inspires us with dynamic techniques and profound concepts that have helped countless people grab hold of their fears and move forward with their lives.”

A Christmas gift you could give your family is your intention to get to work on your All Ready to Go Binder early in 2019, and then get back to living your life.
