I used to say that fear is stupid, but rather I'd say it is a poor substitute for wisdom. In the body, it is meant for an immediate reaction to an immediate danger that is clear and present. Neither your body or society is meant to use it long term and doing so will do grave danger to both.
Fear cannot exist in the same place as logic or freedom... or hope or happiness for that matter. So, choosing to live in fear is choosing to surrender all of the above.
Fear makes you do things you'd rather not do, overlook warning signs that you would normally avoid to end up in situations or relationships you'll later feel was a mistake and feel imprisoned.
So, I'll keep this short, because even though I could give a hundred examples of this from my own life that taught me, you have plenty of your own. Just remember, if you intend long term success and happiness, never allow fear to take the reins from a life of experience or a desire for freedom and stability.
