I read A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson, several years ago and absolutely loved it. I think this may have even been one of Oprah's book club books, which may be where I originally heard about Marianne, but she was so inspiring with her simplicity and clarity that I felt compelled to read it, and boy was I glad I did.
Marianne's book 'Return to Love' is based on her reflections of the the principle taught in 'A course in Miracles' which is a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy. She breaks down the course to help us understand that focusing on fear instead of love, which is really what we are taught in life from an early age, we set ourselves up for failure.
For example, from the time we are born we are taught to separate ourselves from others, we are taught that we must compete to get ahead and that we're not entirely good enough. This builds fear, anxiety and loss of self confidence. These are the things Marianne discusses in A 'Return to Love'. Through her own spiritual awakenings she helps us overcome these obstacles in both life and business.
I found the books so inspiring I've read it several times and each time it gives me greater understanding of how I can realize my own potential and my own self worth. It's the book that actually gave me the courage to start my own business.
If fear is holding you back from gaining your full potential, have a listen to Marianne, it could be the most soothing, relaxing and enlightening three minutes you spend today 
Enjoy!

This is actually my problem. It’s so hard for me to move on or move up. I’m too afraid to take a challenge or too afraid to face the consequences or too afraid of failing, I’m still holding on to what I have in the present. This video is very helpful to me, thanks for sharing.
you don’t need to feel fear for as long as you are on the right direction and you are doing what is set to be good. Most people fear to commit mistakes but it’s already part of our lives and the more we think of it, the more we get to it. Learn to not to commit the same mistake again.
Thanks you so much Marriane for having all these important factors tackled here.. It’s one of many problems almost everyone I guess have this problems within ourselves.. Some time we are afraid to engaged into something because we are afraid that we might fail but we must think also that failure is our key towards our success.. we may able to see what are the advantages and disadvantages along the way… And we must be open to everything and anything… There is always a room for improvement…
