Some common fears that could be hiding in your mind

Fear of Dying

Probably most people's number one fear ...so here’s something to think about… 

 "This self (your ego)... possesses some terrifying information. It knows that if it's lucky, it's destined to grow old, get sick, and lose everything that it's grown to love. Then it will die. This is a shortened version of what the world has offered you, which probably leaves you mystified and flabbergasted at the absurdity of this thing we call life.

Into this bleak picture, which inspires fear and even terror, I'd like to introduce a concept that will eliminate the terror. I want you to know that you needn't subscribe to the idea that you are only this collection of bones and tissues, destined to be annihilated in an aging process.

 You've emerged from a universal field of Creation that I've been calling intention. Life itself is eternal, and you spring from this infinite no thing called life.

...therefore we must conclude that life, in terms of our body and all its achievements and possessions, which without exception begins and ends in dust, isn't life itself. Grasping life's true essence could radically change your life for the better.

 This shift toward seeing yourself as an infinite spiritual being having a human experience, rather than the reverse - that is, a human having an occasional spiritual experience, is loaded with fear for most people. I urge you to look at those fears and face them directly right now; the result will be a permanent connection to the abundance and receptivity of the universal source that intends all of Creation into temporary form."

Other common fears 

Fear of Failure 

If you have ever held back on a goal or avoided taking action that would lead to a positive outcome, you may have been fearful that you might fail. Fear of failure can be subtle because our minds can come up with endless excuses why it‘s not a good time to take a risk right now, or how the odds don‘t seem to be in our favor, and so on. 

Fear of Success 

It‘s hard to believe that anyone could be afraid of success (isn‘t success usually a good thing?) but it‘s far more common than you might believe. Most often it‘s not the success itself that people fear, but rather all of the responsibilities and uncertainties that come along with success. If you worry that you won‘t be able to handle these things, you will resist putting yourself in a position where you would have to face them.

Fear of Rejection 

Fear of rejection is usually related to low self-esteem, but may show up in subtle ways. You may lash out at others when a possible rejection is imminent; sabotage relationships so you can be the one who rejects the other person instead of them rejecting you; or you may simply withdraw from social interaction to avoid the possibility of being rejected at all.

Fear of Not Being Good Enough 

This is another fear that is connected to self-esteem, and it often affects everything you do in life. You may avoid making changes to improve your life; settle for a dissatisfying job that pays less money than you are capable of earning; or continuously sabotage your goals. If you don‘t believe you deserve to have better life circumstances you won‘t allow yourself to create them.
