It's simply because that's where we find the most security and ease.

It's imperative to have a healthy dose of fear in our lives; otherwise, we won't challenge ourselves enough to grow.
It's easy to get caught up in the routine of life and remain static without making any advancement.

You're standing in a fixed location.
If you're not making progress, then what are you doing? You're only regressing.
Hence, the best way to tell whether you're moving forward in life is when you feel like you're taking daily steps towards conquering your fear.
