I Am Fear.

I am Fear.

I am the menace that lurks in the paths of life, never visible to the eye but sharply felt in the heart.

I am the father of despair, the brother of procrastination, the enemy of progress, the tool of tyranny.

Born of ignorance and nursed on misguided thought, I have darkened more hopes, stifled more ambitions, shattered more ideals and prevented more accomplishments than history could record.

Like the changing chameleon, I assume many disguises.

I masquerade as caution.

I am sometimes known as doubt or worry.

But whatever I'm called, I am still fear, the obstacle of achievement.

I know no master but one.

Its name is Understanding.

I have no power but what the human mind gives me, and I vanish completely when the light of understanding reveals the facts as they really are, for I am really nothing.

What timing to get this in my email from a completely oblivious source.
