The saying "Always do what you are afraid to do"
Refers to the human tendency to harbor fear, but it is unacceptable to allow fear to control you while it limits your potential. As a human, if you are afraid of something, you should prioritize it because, once you overcome it, fear will no longer be your limit. We all experience fear of failing at some point, so why not take action and overcome our fear? Even if we ultimately fail, the experience of failing will serve as motivation to keep going.
Since life isn't always supposed to be fair to us, we might encounter setbacks and consequences in all its forms."Expect the best and prepare for the worse" is another statement we should take into account. In either scenario, don't allow fear be the reason you give up on your goals or decide not to begin at all.
You'll sharpen your intellect and excel in all you do if you do this. But human potential knows no bounds, save from the dread of failing and the inability to face one's fears.
