Behind your darkest fears lie your brightest rewards.

About This Quote

Behind your darkest fears lie your brightest rewards." I have found that there is a lot of value in the idea that the thing we fear the most is often the thing that can bring us the greatest reward. It may seem as though something bad will happen if you do something, but the truth is that nothing happened because you have taken steps to protect yourself from it. For example, a number of years ago I decided to start a business. I was terrified of taking on so much responsibility and being able to pay for my child’s tuition and living expenses.

In time, however, I realized that taking this step would allow me to help others and give them a piece of mind as well. I knew that if I didn’t take these steps, I would always wonder what could have been.
