If people look a bit more deeply into their lives, most of the time when something has held them back from achieving a goal or desire, fear was at the bottom of it. Fear of failure, fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear of embarrassment, fear of loss, etc.
It is often peoples biggest stumbling block to happiness in life...if folks let fear rule their lives, they won't ever learn to be happy & they will spend their futures being robbed of joy.
Fear can be controlling...the saying is warning people to learn how to banish fear, or at least stand up to it, face it & then push through it...once they do, they are usually well on the path to achieving their deepest dreams.

It means that fear is the only thing you should be afraid of. What ever gives you fear is fear taking form. Like the dementors from Harry Potter, they are fear itself because they give you fear. Dementors are fear itself because they can take your soul.

It means that most people fear, fear itself because their scared to face thier fears so they are afraid of life itself. That's what it means to me.

"Fear is the mind-killer..." - Dune
Fear does awful things to you. It makes people overreact to a situation. It makes you desperate, it clouds your judgement, it the source of anger and people freaking out instead of finding solutions.
Fear handicaps people from thinking clearly, sitting down and solving a problem rationally. Most problems can be conquered, but not if you're freaked out. It causes people to react emotionally to a problem that can be solved rationally. It interferes with our ability to find solutions.
So the REAL threat is fear. That's what it means. Without fear, we can work out everything else.

It means that we should not fear, but we should be courageous. People are afraid of falling into fear, so that is why people fear fear.

It means that you shouldn't let your fears dictate what it is that you do in life and the decisions that you make.

I think it goes with a coward dies a thousand deaths and a brave person only dies once. So in other words --face your fear head-on.

its kinda self explanatary, you should conquer your fears. A fear is something one would like to avoid, so you should avoid being fearful.
