Add You - The Psychology Of Fear
I remember the first open house I hosted as a real estate agent. I knew nothing about the home - it was listed by another agent in the office. It was a lakefront home that was too expensive for most of the visitors that came that day. They came to dream, while their kids ran around the yard, getting in the seller's things and I ran around trying to keep track of where everyone was. Of course I didn't
It seems as if you can't trust anyone. Believe me -- if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Especially when it comes to money.Don't be fooled by the idea that only the elderly, the young and the desperate are targeted by scams. Everyone can be a target. If you are vulnerable, you are especially at risk. If you fall for a scam, you could lose a lot of money, your credit history and even your
How big of a role does fear play in your life? Maybe you actually think about something fearful, but what does fear do to you without any conscious thought?
I have been pondering these questions recently because I hear the fear in so many people’s voices. Wherever I go and talk with folks, I run into unexpected emotion about terrorism, unfamiliar religions, school safety, child molesters, etc. My response to these emotionally charged thoughts is to wonder why people are so afraid.
An example of my confusion is how the FBI statistics for many years showed that violent crime was going down nationwide, yet there seemed to be a belief throughout the land that it was going up. Then there are the constant stories of crimes against children. Given the number of children in the United States, what are the odds of something happening to your child? There have been different religions and belief systems as far back as we can look. Can the relatively small handful of extremists really make us afraid of a religion or a people as a whole?
Why is there so much fear? THE MEDIA. But what do we predominately experience on TV and publications? My wife and I like the writing on shows like Law & Order, but we have been wondering where the good dramatic shows have gone that don’t highlight blood and violence. Then there are the news broadcasts. It would be hard not to be upset and a bit afraid after listening to them
I've been asked this question so many times I thought I'd put my thoughts down here for you to read. Let's start by pointing out a couple things first. First off, depending on where you live, you may not have a choice of access. Satellite may be your only choice, which makes this null and void. Don't fret, satellite is better than any dial-up and the contract lengths are generally 12-14 months in len

You have spent hundreds or perhaps thousands of hours writing your masterpiece and now you want the world to read it. You also want it to generate an income for you that is proportionate to the work you put into it. So, what should you do with it? You can send a manuscript of it off to dozens of publishing houses with the hopes that one of them thinks it is worthy of their label, or you can have i

VOIP is the transmission of voice traffic over IP-based networks. The Internet Protocol or IP was originally designed for data transmission. The success of IP in becoming a world standard for data transfer has led to its adaption to voice transfer.To connect a regular phone to the internet so that voice can be tranmitted over it, a voip adpater is needed. Sunrocket calls it voip adapter "the G
Fear sells. Bad news certainly gets a lot of advertisers. That is a basic sales strategy for many things. How many burglaries are there really, in relation to the need for expensive security? How much insurance do you really need? Most people in those and other businesses don’t sell by fear, but it is something to be aware of.
Another way of looking at this issue is how we would talk to our children about fear. As adults, we are continually bombarded with the horrors of our world through our media. If your child were to see some of this news and ask us about it, wouldn’t we try to put it in perspective for them? Wouldn’t we say, “That has never happened around here, so you don’t need to be afraid” or “That will probably never happen to us, so you don’t need to worry about it.” We are telling them the truth. Of course we need to educate them on safety issues and to be aware of their surroundings, but we don’t need to let them be unrealistically scared.
Fear can hold us back from engaging in life. It can color our view of the world in flashing red lights. It can fill us with anger. It ca
