“The death anxiety of many people is fueled ... by disappointment at never having fulfilled their potential. Many people are in despair because their dreams didn't come true, and they despair even more that they did not make them come true. A focus on this deep dissatisfaction is often the starting point in overcoming death anxiety.” PeopleDreamFocusDespairAnxietyOvercomingStartingDisappointmentFulfilledDissatisfactionStarting Point Author:Irvin D.

“I believe that the gospel and the American Dream have fundamentally different starting points. The American Dream begins with self, exalts self, says you are inherently good and you have in you what it takes to be successful so do all you can, work with everything you have to make much of yourself. The gospel begins with God, the reality that we were created to exalt his name to the ends of the earth.” BelieveDifferentEndsSelfDreamRealityEarthNamesI BelieveSuccessfulStartingHaving FunBeing SuccessfulAmerican DreamStarting Point Author:David Platt
