He knew sometimes some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don't do something, it can prompt you into action. But it is not good when you are afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.

Summary

This quote highlights the duality of fear. While fear can sometimes serve as a motivator, pushing individuals to take action in order to avoid worsening situations, it can also hinder progress when it immobilizes them. A healthy degree of fear can propel individuals to overcome obstacles and confront challenges. However, excessive fear can be paralyzing, preventing individuals from taking any steps towards change or improvement. The quote underscores the importance of finding a balance between motivating fear and crippling fear to ensure that fear acts as a catalyst rather than an inhibitor in our lives.
