Fear stops people achieving. Regardless of the dreams and wishes expressed, if a person is overcome by fear, achievement is impossible.

Fear treads on imagination - snuffs it out. Fear removes your self reliance - excises it so that you doubt yourself in every respect. Fear sucks out all enthusiasm - no matter how hard you try, those around you see only a try too hard. Fear takes the place of initiative and drives the sufferer to uncertainty. Fear invites and delivers failure in every form you can imagine.
