About this listen
Each time we step outside our zone of familiarity, we feel an underlying nervousness that reminds us there is a price to pay for our courage. The fear of what lies just beyond the fringe of the unknown can be enough to prevent us from realizing the victory of overcoming personal strife, emotional turmoil, and misperceptions of reality.
Fear is a phenomenon that affects every human being. No one is exempt. The only variable lies in whether or not we allow fear to rule our lives and how we handle fearful circumstances. Yes, fear can be handled, managed, and manipulated, despite its ominous and threatening efforts to convince us of the contrary.
Fear is a Thief exposes fear and gives the listener a fresh new approach to managing fear, using five fundamental truths. These truths reveal fear's deceptive characteristics while offering keen insight on ways to approach and manage virtually any situation with newfound confidence.
Amazon number-one best-selling author Gary Westfal is leading a movement to build an awareness in which we can live a life beyond the bounds of fear. His bold and practical approach has helped thousands take control of their lives right now by exposing fear as the thief it is. Whatever your fear, this book is your opportunity to courageously move past it to a life you define. You can live life beyond fear. Learn how in Fear is a Thief.

You may wonder why you’re still stuck in the same place, same mindset, or same circles when there is a big world of opportunities out there. So, what’s holding you back? Is it financial status? Few growth opportunities? Narrow professional network? Whatever it may be, the truth remains: Your greatness is mostly dependent on you. Even if it doesn’t feel and look that way now, your goals are within reach...but only if you equip yourself with the strategies to make it happen.

Each woman suffers from different situations that often make them question if they are living a full life or if they find themselves repressed under many situations in which their feelings cannot flourish according to their lives. This often has no distinction between age or the current situation in which you live or work. All women have reached a time when they question these situations, and above all, it makes them go through a roller coaster of emotions in the ones where their self-esteem and confidence go through ups and downs and usually stay at low levels.

Stoicisms ancient teachings are the very best playbook for adversity. Unlike many religious and new age thinking methods, Stoic principles provide a clear road map on exactly “How” to think, not simply “What” to think. Thus giving its practitioners a way to better deal with the misfortunes and hardships they face. However, this is only half of the battle. If you truly want to make the most of these principles, then you need to give yourself a leg up to begin with, which requires adopting a more progressive approach towards success.

Are your manifestations taking too long to show up? And are you tired of waiting? Divine timing is a phrase that’s been floating around the spiritual community for quite some time now. It is the idea that everything in the Universe happens at "just the right moment" without you having any control over it. There are many missing links when it comes to law of attraction teachings. And one of the biggest ones is knowing how to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. And even if you can't see a way out of your current reality, there is one.
