Are You Afraid of Success?

-






As shocking as it may sound, fear of success is quite similar to fear of failure. They virtually have same symptoms, and both most definitely hold you back from achieving your goals, dreams and objectives.

What causes fear of success?
Fear of Spotlight: Not everyone is ready and willing to embrace the special attention that accompanies success.
Fear of making enemies: underlying your fear of success there may be a fear of collecting more enemies because of your success.
Fear of loneliness: Some people think that when they succeed they will be different than their friends and so lose them or end up being alone.
Fear of the hard work required to maintain your success after succeeding you will have to work hard to maintain your success.
 
 
How to Overcome the Fear of Success ?
 
Confront Your Fears and be positive:
Fear is natural. To overcome the fear of success phobia, one must first accept it; even consider the fear a gift. Writing down one’s thoughts and changing negative into positive ones can be a great self-help technique while dealing with this phobia. Positive visualizations, meditation and deep breathing upon facing an anxiety attack related to thoughts s associated with success are other self-help remedies.
Stay away from negative people and you will decrease the amount of negativity in your life at least by half.
Remind yourself that you are part of something larger than you:
When you realize you are part of a bigger picture, even if you don’t fully understand what that is, it’s easier to ascertain that you both deserve and need to be successful and happy, You do the right things, you help people around you, and you know that this isn’t just about you—it’s also about the bigger picture that you’re part of. These thoughts always give me the courage to try something new and believe that my life is successful because of the doing, not the outcome.
 
Work Hard, Play Hard and Get Out of Your Comfort Zone:
Success does not come cheap. After convincing yourself that you've got the potential to shine bright and defeat fear of success, the next conviction you should have is show of pure determination, refined handwork and tireless endeavours towards achieving your goals.
Learn and be driven by People's Success:
Create the mentality of "If they can do it, I can do much better." Almost everything on this planet has been done by someone else already at one time or another.
At the end you have to remain assertive and Never For Once should you doubt your potential. Trust and believe in yourself. We all know the road to success is always rough but remaining self-assured will help you conquer all fears of success.
Success is not a destination. It’s a journey
