Towards doing something that scares the hell out of us....what is it that we are really frightened off?.....and is it true that the only thing we have to fear is fear it'self?

I think it's true that the only thing that will stop us from achieving is to be too afraid to take the first step. It seems that we can overcome obstacles, but the biggest obstacle to anything is fear to begin or take that risk. I think that's what he meant when he said that.
Too little money doesn't stop us. Too little education doesn't stop us. Personal tragedy doesn't daunt us. Fear stops us cold.
I believe the fear we have is of the unknown. We're trying something new... we're unsure if we'll succeed... failure is painful and embarrassing... so the fear is our uncertainty and fear of failure or startling outcome that we're not prepared for.
Good question!

Fear is our safety net. We should not let fear stop us from doing something but rather make us evaluate the situation for solutions on how to accomplish the task.
Fear just makes us double check the steps in order for us to safely complete the task.
Or you may find that once you evaluate the situation, you can not come up with a solution to completing the task. However you may obtain assistance in finding that solution and then reevaluate the task at a later time.
Never give into fear, but use it for what it is worth.

Fear is nothing, until you find one. In the real world fear is something which you never tied before or it may have bad consequence on yourself or the community around u.
Fear might help u from not doing something wrong or it might even turn ur life 2 the max.

Yes this is true. Actually, it's more of fear of the unknown. Courage is doing things even though you have fear. Good Luck!

Good question, I have many fears but i guess for me it is the outcome of my action of overcoming that fear.Because fear can also be a safeguard from a disastrous outcome.
