Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation.

Eckhart Tolle
Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. ... The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world. View quote
