Fear Series #3

I want to continue my fear series with something that many people may not even realize they have experienced.
Fear Of Success
Am I crazy? Would anyone actually fear success? Yes, some people do, and may not even realize it. Many people think there is no way they could fear success, and may even be pursuing it. What they may not realize is they may actually fear it more than they know.
How would you know if you were actually fearing success? Fear of success is usually characterized by things such as:

  • Fearing that you will accomplish all of your goals, and still not be happy
  • Believing for some reason you don’t deserve to succeed
  • Not believing that you can actually succeed
  • Being afraid that your new found success will change you in ways you don’t like

    • The best way to address this is to work on improving your self-esteem and realizing what changes will come about if you succeed. Do not let a fear of success keep you from your goals! You deserve to win, and you deserve to be successful in life. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

      It was interesting to follow you/to think deeper about my feelings in the light of your post. Thus the value of self-improvement was tested. Thoughts about the cost of our goals make us blind and deaf to the next to us passerby. Our consciousness rob us from joy to sit back in awe towards the light under a corner , makes us the slaves of our understanding, the worshipers of our own plans….
      Thus it was the beneficial indeed to ponder deeper the question of fear. I do not fear any more to look not-wise, to walk around and smile to all without any profit to oneself.
      How do you do my friend? My best wishes to you.
