Fear

                Fear is what’s always holding us back. It’s what’s keeping us from sailing away because we become afraid of the huge ocean waves, the depth of the sea, the dangerous sea creatures, the storms, the pirates, or whatever we may encounter along our voyage. We’re even afraid the ship would sink. It’s what’s keeping us stranded on the shore, never achieving, never testing the waters. We don’t get too far because we remain, we stay. But fear’s what’s keeping us safe. Though sometimes it’s cowardice, it’s still the safest measure. It’s the safest as it would keep us from getting hurt, getting frustrated, and getting rejected. Logically, we fear because of these. And to fear is the only way to keep ourselves away from these because fear gives way to hesitations that provide escapes.
