Fear – A dangerous opponent

Have you ever noticed a situation where you or somebody else somehow managed to find themselves facing the very thing they feared most? This is not a coincidence. Over the last few years I have read and studied a lot of material that points to the idea that the world doesn’t just happen to us and that what we think in our minds and feel in our hearts actually have a powerful effect on the reality that we experience. It could be just self-fulfilling prophecy, it could be that what we believe in skews our perception of our experiences or maybe our own minds really are powerful forces that work with the Universe itself. This in itself could be the subject of many blog posts but for the sake of this post I just want to concentrate on the idea that our fears have the ability to manifest in our lives.
