Fear

It is hard to stay focused sometimes when there is so much fear in me. It can really drive poor reactions and decisions sometimes. I have to be careful to look deeply into that fear and consider cause and effect when making a decision to act. Fear can make us do pretty stupid and damaging things sometimes.

It is important to keep a balanced mind and not get caught up in reactions to fear. Non-reactivity does not mean inaction. It means well-intentioned, well-thought out action (or no action depending on the circumstances).
