Many people fear success more than failure
I’m definitely guilty of [[ fear of success ]]. This also makes me think of [[ The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron ]], which talks about [[ self-sabotage ]] that artists carry out when at the brink of success.
Also, you need people who can talk you out of your bs doubts and self-sabotage
From the article:
On the surface, “fear of success” sounds like it makes NO sense at all, but it typically tracks to a feeling of “well shit, if this works I’m on the hook.” …
There are many factors that lead to success and failure. Neither are 100% predictable.
However, 100% of the people who achieve a tiny level of success and then stop, do not succeed.
If this is a pattern you recognize in yourself, and changing it is within your control.
