Fear of Success

Fear of Success what does it feel like?


It feels like an uncomfortable gut feeling - a queasy type of feeling, anxiety ridden feeling, which can make you feel like your stomach is churning uncontrollably. 


It is like that feeling of being on a roller coaster; before it is about to drop off into oblivion. You close your eyes  and hope only for it not to be a crush landing just before you jump into nothingness


It is this feeling of like a huge bubble is going to burst, but you do not want it to burst just yet -not now and not in front of everyone. You wonder what if everyone notices, how embarrassing it would be.


 Is it the fear of others seeing and knowing; knowing only you, as you truly are and were meant to be. 


It is the fear of what could be, all the possibilities you have dreamt of 


The potential to be great, the 'free lifestyle' that you secretly crave, because you know you were meant to be so much more. You secretly know that you could contribute so much more in this world 


It is the overwhelming fear of letting go, off the 'false sense of security' you have been holding onto for a long long time. Only you and I know that the 'your false sense of security,' does not fulfil you and only makes you miserable 


 It is the overwhelming fear of 'what if it actually happens,' the what if 'I actually succeed,' then what?


Just the thought of visualising success brings a sense of overwhelming fear


Fear of success ....


It is the endless doubts of oneself, the what if 'I am not good enough,' 


It is the the endless questioning of oneself, the 'it is only me, who in the world would want to see, hear or listen to me'? 


Overcoming the fear, self-doubts is like climbing Mount Everest and never getting to the peak, each time you climb halfway and end up back at the bottom




It is only when you finally reach the peak after overcoming all the obstacles of YOU, that you realise 'what the heck was I worried about after-all.' This is the stage of being on a Healthier High of 'I No Longer Care Cure'

When you finally reach the peak, you have reached the stage of embracing you and accepting you, for just being you. You reach the stage of valuing you with extra confidence that YES there are individuals out there (even if it's 1 or 2 and not millions) who truly value the message and skills you have to share


Once you cross the 'OTHER SIDE,' of FEAR you realise that your fear was only imaginary 


You realise that the FEAR, only kept you away from you. Kept you away from maximising your true potential 


You realise, 'your false sense of security,' was after-all ridiculous and absurd. That is the absurdity of life


In the words of  Albert Camus, "Life is Absurd, Rebel, Live, and Try To Die Happy" 


WELCOME  to the world of the NEW YOU - that means you have crossed over that peak. Now you know what it feels like and there is NO STOPPING YOU and even better no looking back. 

If you have not crossed over yet to the new you- WHAT IS STOPPING YOU?
