About This Quote

Fear is a common emotion. However, when you go ahead and fear something, there is a chance that it will not come to pass. The same idea applies to the way we view the world around us. When we fear something, there is a chance that it will not happen.

If we believe that a disaster will occur, it becomes a real possibility in the mind of the person who fears it. It is important to remember that fear can’t stop the universe from operating on its own terms.
