Every time you get close to achieving your goal and ultimate success, something pops up to ruin your focus, kill your motivation or sabotage your confidence. Something always stops you from taking that one last step and suddenly you have to start all over. Of course this something has a name; € ’³Fear of Success.€ ’´ Fear of Success is often even more dangerous than the fear of failure. More dangerous because it hides in the subconscious. Since we€ ’²re not fully aware of it, it keeps sneaking up on us. And as time passes, it becomes increasingly more difficult to take action and get motivated.
So what€ ’²s causing you subconscious to behave this way? It could be that you are associating success with a negative result. You subconscious may be thinking € ’³Once I become successful I€ ’²ll have to put in 15 hours a day, seven days a week.€ ’´ Or maybe € ’³I€ ’²m not really ready to handle the responsibility of managing a huge successful business.€ ’´ Deep down inside your subconscious is protecting you by pointing out possible results you don€ ’²t find desirable. But it doesn€ ’²t have to be like that. You are capable of creating your own reality and the subsequent outcomes. So what can be done to defeat these fears?
The first step is to acknowledge the fear. Ask yourself, what are the negative thoughts you fear will ruin your dream. Make a list. Now develop 2 or 3 positive affirmations you are ready to embrace. Every time you feel the negative beliefs stirring, recite your affirmations until the feeling goes away. Eventually the negative beliefs will be replaced by the positive. Remember, what ever you want you can have, as soon as you conquer your fear of success.
