The 52:52:52 project, launching both on this site and on social media in early 2024 will help you address 52 issues with 52 responses over 52 weeks.

A Mundane Comedy is Dominic Kelleher's new book, which will be published in mid 2024. The introduction is available here and further extracts will appear on this site and on social media in the coming months.

This site addresses what's changing, in our own lives, in our organisations, and in wider society. You'll learn about key changes across more than 150 areas, ranging from ageing and time, through nature and animals, to kindness and love...and very much else inbetween.

Halcyon's aim is to help you reflect on how you can better deal with related change in your own life.

Fear

Quote 940

When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation; it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams - Les Brown {American Motivational Speaker, Author & Trainer}

Quote 938

The violent have been victorious for most of history because they kindled the fear with which everyone is born - Theodore Zeldin, Intimate History of Humanity

Quote 937

The Toltec view of fear says that a parasite lives inside your mind and chatters away the whole time, trying to distract you from doing what you would do if you had no such fear. From that perspective the parasite is fed by fear and so your mind fluctuates depending on the kind of day, week, month you are having. I am not sure it is something that I can ever really lose or rid myself of, and perhaps it is a life-long journey to greatly diminish the influence of this entity. However, I have been fortunate in that I have since been able to separate my internal voice into two separate voices - the one of fear and the one of non-fear. And I know now in any given situation which one is talking - Oxford Muse, 2005

Quote 936

The opposite of love is not hate - it is fear. Love will flow when we can let go of our fears - Neil Crofts

Quote 935

The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them - Alfred Hitchcock

Quote 934

The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder -

Quote 933

Take care, don't fight, and remember: if you do not choose to lead, you will forever be led by others. Find what scares you, and do it. And you can make a difference, if you choose to do so - Michael Straczynski

Quote 932

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other - Francis Bacon
