Fear is life-energy!

Fear is a form of energy inside us. That is why it cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Understand, your fear is directly connected to your life energy! Whenever you are facing a survival threat, you will see your fear rising and the adrenalin release happening in your body, flooding your system with energy. That adrenalin release gives you enough energy for fight or flight. If you feel you can handle the fear, the energy is used to fight and come out of it. If the danger is perceived as being too strong, the energy can be used for flight or escape.

Fear is always of the unknown

Fear does not exist when things are definite and known. Fear exists only when the possibilities are unknown.

For example, death is a possibility. As an incident it is definite, but when and how it might happen is not clear. So there is always fear associated with it.

If you are sure there is no possibility of achieving something, that you don't have the potentiality, you will not have fear. If you are sure that you can achieve something, then also, you don't have fear.
