About This Quote
Fear is the will's little baby. It arises with the possibility you will lose what you desire. To paraphrase this quote, fear is the way the mind's will knows that something is wrong and something needs to be done about it. Fear can be both a friend and a foe.
When we face fear, it often becomes our friend because fear is saying, "Something bad is going to happen if you don't take action." But, at the same time, fear can also be our foe because it does not want us to meet new opportunities or possibly lose out on even more opportunities. If we are fearful, we are likely to run away from the opportunity rather than embrace it with courage. Fear can cause us to lose sleep at night.
