Fear is the greatest obstacle to any adventure.

About This Quote

The thing most often holding us back is fear. It is the thing most often stopping us from doing what we most want to do. Thinking of an adventure is scary. It seems like something awful might happen if you put yourself in the midst of danger.

But when you look at it that way, then it makes perfect sense that you should do it. You don’t feel afraid when you think about it because your mind knows that there is nothing to fear.
