HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR from Think & Grow Rich #TGR

SYMPTOMS OF THE FEAR OF DEATH

The general symptoms of this fear are:

• The habit of THINKING about dying instead of making the most of LIFE, due, generally, to lack of purpose or lack of a suitable occupation.

• This fear is more prevalent among the aged, but sometimes the more youthful are victims of it.

• The greatest of all remedies for the fear of death is a BURNING DESIRE FOR ACHIEVEMENT backed by useful service to others.

• A busy person seldom has time to think about dying.

• He finds life too thrilling to worry about death.

• Sometimes the fear of death is closely associated with the Fear of Poverty, where one’s death would leave loved ones poverty-stricken.

• In other cases, the fear of death is caused by illness and the consequent breaking down of physical body resistance.

• The most common causes of the fear of death are ill-health, poverty, lack of appropriate occupation, disappointment over love, insanity, religious fanaticism.

the text later goes on to say that decisiveness just as ardent desire is also a cure for this fear of death. In other words: “Relieve yourself forever of the fear of death by reaching a decision to accept death as an inescapable event.”
