I have just started reading Abraham P. Sperling's book "Psychology". I consider it as one of the most important books in my life. It contains a glossary in which the term 'psychology' is defined. Psychology is the science of individual behaviour and experience. It is useful to know why we behave in a certain way.
What are the most important things in life? In my opinion, these are: having a clear conscience, feeling and being sure that you are an honest person, and it is also important to be honest, to have a passion for life, to enjoy everyday life, not to compete with others but with yourself. Faith, hope and love are very important, too. Sense of happiness is also important.
In chapter one, I outline what anxiety, worry and fear are (among other things, I give their definitions). In chapter two, I describe the negative sides of living with anxieties and fears. In chapter three, I give reasons for getting rid of most (or all) fears. In chapter four, I introduce ideas related to fears and describe how to do practical exercises to 'work through' fears in order to deal with them effectively
As a consequence of human fears, we can observe the following negative attitudes.
We are children of God, let us rejoice always and rejoice in the Lord. It is HE who created us, who called us to life, who gave us talents, who gives us daily bread.
Personal development is rewarding; we do not stand still when we develop. Development can (and should) be in different areas of life. For me, it is important to develop spiritually, intellectually, professionally, emotionally, in the area of financial education.
In today's post, I want to share some thoughts that are contained in my third book titled "A Cure for Anxiety."
"It is only up to you to define success and achieve it. ", and also: "We quickly realise that you have to pay dearly for these outward signs of success".
We are weak and prone to sin, we fall all the time, but we must not give in to sadness and discouragement. God is greater than our sin and our weakness, let us ask Him for His power and His mercy on us. The Lord God gives us power when we ask for it, and in the Holy Sacraments there is our help from God. Through the sacrament of penance we can be reconciled to Him and reconciled to the Church.
I am currently writing my third book. Today I will share excerpts from it (the book isn't finished yet).
