Fear is one enemy that has made others abandon their visions and goals in life. These are visions whose realization would have transformed many lives. That is why the scriptures are replete with God's enjoining for us not to fear. Don't allow fear get into your heart. God told Joshua, "fear not, be strong and very courageous". He is speaking the same words to you today, "Fear not, and be strong and very courageous". God knew the challenges that lied in front of Joshua in leading the children of Israel into their promised land. He knows the challenges you are facing and you will face. That is why He has given us faith as a shield. Feed your faith always by God's word. That is the way to stay strong. It doesn't matter the threats you may face. Close your ears from feeders of fear and doubt, rather open your heart to words that seed faith and courage in your heart. The Lord is with you, therefore fear not and the vision will be achieved.
