Because of fear

Because of fear.

Because of fear what chances did I not take for fear of the outcome?

Because of fear I regret more what I haven't done more than the things I've actually done.

It's not about creating a list of regrets, of fears.  Instead, it's the idea of what I won't do because of fear and how this insidious notion--fear--has reigned me in.  Influenced my decisions not to take chances, to close doors, so to speak.  

Because of fear.

How much time have I wasted? How many opportunities squandered?  How much power have I invested in fear instead of love?
