“The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it”

Simplified Meaning:

When something scares us a lot, it means it's very important for us to do. It’s like a sign that this task or goal really matters to our growth and happiness. For example, if you dream of becoming a singer but feel very scared to sing in front of people, that fear is a clue. It's showing you that singing is a big dream for you, and achieving it could be very fulfilling. Think about famous people like Martin Luther King Jr. who fought for civil rights. He probably felt a lot of fear facing big challenges, but he knew it was the right thing to do because it mattered deeply to him and many others. In our everyday lives, if we are really scared to try a new job or start a new project, it's probably because we deeply care about it and know it can lead to something very significant. So, when you feel a lot of fear about doing something, it might be your mind's way of telling you that it’s an important step to take. Facing that fear can lead to personal growth and big rewards. Instead of avoiding what frightens you, recognize it as important and worthwhile.
