Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fear always springs from ignorance

Fear always springs from ignorance

Summary

This quote suggests that fear is a result of not knowing or understanding something. When people lack knowledge or experience about a particular situation, person, or object, they tend to feel apprehensive, uncertain, and fearful. Fear can be seen as an instinctive response to protect oneself from potential harm or danger. However, once we gain knowledge and understanding, our fear diminishes. Therefore, by acquiring information, educating ourselves, and becoming more aware, we can overcome fear and make informed decisions.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
