“There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.”
— Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:
Many people are scared to see how much they can really do and how great they can become. Sometimes, discovering your true potential can be intimidating because it means you might have to work really hard, take risks, or change your life. Think of someone who dreams of writing a book but never starts because they're afraid they might fail or succeed and then have to live up to high expectations. They might scare themselves by imagining all the big responsibilities and pressures that come with success. To grow and reach your true potential, you need to face these fears and start anyway. When you recognize you can do great things, you can achieve much more than you ever believed.
