About This Quote
I remind myself how people with a low propensity for success whose behavior is guided by fear, have a low propensity for success. If you think about it, most people are afraid of what could go wrong. Examples of this are when dealing with people or situations that are new to them. They are afraid that things will not go right and end up not working out in their favor. This fear makes them act in ways that will guarantee failure.
It’s the same fear that causes the rich to be rich and the poor to be poor. When you are afraid of something, you will usually do something to avoid it. This is called the safety principle and is one of the reasons why people who live in poverty and live below their potential will always remain poor.
Or, we can take the example of our own lives and see how we often do things because we're afraid we might fail or not get the results we want if we don't take action.
