About This Quote
All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. [Then] I went into the [dressing] room and shot my fear in the face. When I was in the dressing room before the match, I had a lot of fear.
[Then] I walked out on to the court and played with that fear. - Michael Jordan Fear is what holds us back from reaching our full potential. Fear is a negative emotion that makes a person feel uncomfortable and insecure about a situation or thing.
Fear can keep a person from doing something they really want to do or even from doing something they have to do if it means they will be uncomfortable or afraid. Fear can prevent people from going after what they want in life because of their own irrational fears about failure. If you have fear, you should ask yourself what is keeping you from taking action and getting your goal done?
