I’ve always thought that the root of every bad action is fear. Today I discovered a quote from Earl Nightingale that simply keep me thinking that fear is the enemy.

Earl Nightingale said:

“The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice…it is conformity.”

And that’s one reason so many people are unsuccessful. They conform and act like everyone else without questioning why. I think fear has a lot to do with it. Many people won’t admit it but they conform because they’re afraid. They think about breaking out of the herd but they’re stifled by fear of failure, fear of criticism, etc.

So, Act now and get rid of that powerful enemy.
