Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly suggests writing the story of a future that is positive while not giving in to the fear others may be projecting.

New Orleans, LA – May 6, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “What Future Do You See,” in which Dr. Kelly asks readers to decide for themselves the kind of future they’d like to see.

Dr. Kelly states, “These days I hear more and more people talking about how much they fear the future.” She continues, “Yes, we are living in uncertain times, but all times are truly uncertain. However,” she adds, “what many people don’t understand – even though Franklin D. Roosevelt knew it when he gave his inaugural address in 1932 as the world teetered on the verge of war – is that fear cultivates more fear. This is why FDRs’ poignant words, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” will forever ring true.”

“Today, we know more than ever before about the brain, how the mind works and how powerfully thoughts shape reality both positively and negatively,” says Dr. Kelly, adding, “Yet a majority of people are still unaware, or they simply find the idea too hard to believe.”

According to Dr. Kelly, “The thoughts each one of us entertains are the ones most frequently brought to bear in reality. This has given rise to another popular saying that, “perception is reality.” This is similar in concept to the self-fulfilling prophecy which is a strongly held belief that something that something is true when in reality it is false.”

Dr. Kelly turns to Mahatma Gandhi who stated, “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do.” “As we move further into the New Year,” says Dr. Kelly, “I like to refine my visions for the future. I tend to agree with Gandhi who believes in changing oneself in order to change the attitude of others toward oneself.” Dr. Kelly suggests, “Digging deep into your own values may help you create a vision of what you would like to see in your life. If you are always arguing with your spouse or children, can you envision peaceful communications?”
