Summary

This quote suggests that fear holds no innate power over us, but instead derives its strength from the extent to which we allow it to influence and control us. It emphasizes that fear only has as much authority as we grant it. By recognizing and challenging our fears, we can diminish their hold on us and regain a sense of control in our lives. It highlights the importance of not succumbing to fear but rather taking charge of our own emotions and choices.
