It isn't the fear that's after all, it's the reader's consideration of your claim, so put "after all" first. There are two slightly different things that you might mean. The first is that it's no good to live fearfully, which might be your problem or the world's or both.

It's more than OK; it's recommended. "After all" is a signal to your reader that you've provided your evidence and argument, and that the summation or conclusion is at hand.
