"It's a funny thing... but people mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really what guides them is what they're afraid of and what they don't want." Through this quote, Khaled Hosseini challenges the conventional thought that our desires drive us. Instead, it suggests that our actions are shaped by our fears rather than our aspirations. However, this observation isn't meant to be discouraging; it serves as a call to self-awareness and empowerment. Accepting the role fear has in our lives can allow us to transcend and understand our limitations to better ourselves. By learning how to embrace your fears, you can use them as a source of motivation. If you are scared of being poor and unable to take care of your family. You can use that to remind yourself that your future is solely dependent on you. If you decide to take responsibility for your success you will be able to ignore your fears. The more you ignore this responsibility, the more your fears start to become reality.
