Success makes you less intimidated by things.

The line suggests that success functions as a kind of psychological inoculation: once you have evidence that you can achieve difficult goals, unfamiliar challenges feel less threatening. “Intimidated” here points to fear of failure, judgment, or complexity; success reduces that fear by increasing self-efficacy and giving you a reference point for handling uncertainty. It also implies a feedback loop—confidence gained from prior wins can encourage bolder choices, which in turn creates more opportunities for achievement. At the same time, the quote can be read as a caution: diminished intimidation may be healthy confidence, but it can also slide into overconfidence if success is mistaken for invulnerability.
