"Fear attracts attack"

This quote by Edwin Louis Cole speaks with the concept that worry can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. When we are afraid of something, we can end up being so focused on it that it can come true. Fear can trigger us to end up being anxious and act that can cause the very thing we are afraid of. For instance, if we hesitate of being attacked, we might become so focused on the worry that we may act that make us more susceptible to attack. We might end up being so preoccupied with the worry that we might not take the required safety measures to secure ourselves. In this method, worry can attract attack. For that reason, it is important to be aware of our fears and take actions to protect ourselves, rather than enabling fear to take control.
