Danger is real, but fear is a choice

‘Danger is real, but fear is a choice. We are all telling ourselves a story. And that day, mine changed.’ (After Earth). Explain the above quote by referring to the definition of a ‘Problem’ by Ajahn Brahm and Eckhart Tolle, and relate it to the idea of the TED talk ‘How changing your story can change your life’ by Lori Gottlieb. Use an example from your own life experiences or from the movie (After Earth), to illustrate how awareness and intentional focused attention may help change undesirable stories of life.
