Working Through Fear: Ending Success Roadblocks
Some people fear failure, and others fear success. That might seem nuts to fear success, but success brings responsibility, and some people are afraid of that too. If you really want to be more successful it’s time to work through your fear.
Signs of Fear of Success
If you fear success, there is a chance that you actively avoid it. You don’t make goals, remember deadlines, you aren’t self-motivated, and you often second-guess yourself. Ultimately, making decisions is difficult for someone who is acting in fear.
In fact, fear of success is so intense in some people that it seems disaster strikes them anytime they’re getting ready to taste success. They get sick, use drugs, and actively sabotage themselves. Some people almost never make decisions and in so doing don’t even realize they’re practicing self-sabotage.
To deal with fear, you can work through it by doing the following:
The more success you experience, the less fear you’re going to have. Challenge is the laboratory of learning, growth and development. So, work to achieve as much success as you can. And leave fear in the rearview mirror.
