This quote stood out to me because I have problems with fear.  I can be overwhelmingly fearful of the silliest things.  You should fear things are are actually physically dangerous, but why be afraid of the future or how we feel?  I have a fear of trusting people, and it chronically sabotages my relationships with others.  I also have a fear of failure.  I am often afraid of trying new things because I fear of failing at them.  We can choose to not let fear hold us back.
