Everything you've ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear.
-- George Addair
About the Quote
Without engaging in theft or stealing, we have to go get whatever it is we want in life. It could be better grades in school, better althetic performance, first place in some contest, a date with someone considered special, a job at a good company, being your own boss, marriage-- whatever it is we want, we work to get it.
Often, there are obstacles keeping us from those things. Sometimes the obstacles are trivial, especially if we've done it repeatedly. Sometimes the obstacles are serious and risk of failure or even harm is major. This is when fear acts as a barrier to keep us from what we want. We just have to find a way get past the fear, or around that fear, or even through that fear. Once we do that, we can focus on the future and other things we want.
Some Information about George Addair
George Addair was born in War, West Virginia, US in 1931. He died in Phoenix, Arizona, US on 2012-June-28.
George Addair lied about his age to sign up for the Air Force; at the time he was actually 17 years old. His first duty station was Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. There he worked on electronics, knowledge of which he applied during the Korean War. Insights he would gain about energy during this time would be useful many years later for his other work.
When his military service ended, Addair returned to Phoenix. There he attended Bible School and in 1950 he became an ordained minister. He founded the First Baptist Church of Payson.
During this period he was dealing with the differences between religion and spirituality. The issues he faced were due to the nature of religion itself, not any specific religion. In 1953 he left his church to take a job as Reynolds Aluminum, where he worked 15 years. Privately he studied spirituality and met many people who would shape his future teachings. During this time he was president of the New Age World Order.
