Answers
It sounds a little strange, doesn’t it? The courage to SUCCEED? Who would ever be afraid of success? Well, maybe you. I know I have been at times.
Take a weakness and turn it into a strength. If you are dedicated to But this post is not just about having the courage to persevere in the face of failure to ultimately succeed, this post is more so about having the courage to ALLOW yourself to succeed. That, can take just as much courage as it takes to fail.
Why would people be afraid to do well? Honestly, for lots of reasons, and it is more common than you think and I am finding that this is the most difficult blog post I have written, to date. I found this post to define it better than I:
Fear of success is the following:* Fear that you will accomplish all that you set out to accomplish, but that you still won’t be happy, content or satisfied once you reach your goal.* Belief that you are undeserving of all the good things and recognition that come your way as a result of your accomplishments and successes* Opposite of fear of failure, in that fear of failure is the fear of making mistakes and losing approval–Fear of success is the fear of accomplishment and being recognized and honored.* Lack of belief in your own ability to sustain your progress, and the accomplishments you have achieved in your life* Fear that your accomplishments can self-destruct at anytime* Belief that no matter how much you are able to achieve or accomplish, it will never be enough to sustain success* Belief that there are others out there who are better than you, who will replace or displace you if you do not maintain your performance record* Belief that success is an end in itself; yet that end is not enough to sustain your interest and/or commitment* Fear that once you have achieved the goals you have worked diligently for, the motivation to continue will fade* Fear that you will find no happiness in your accomplishments–that you will be perpetually dissatisfied with life.These fears ring true for me in many areas of life -though they were most brought to life as I was finishing grad school. It had never occured to me that I was afraid of success, I thought I was merely afraid to fail. It was during a time of intense preparation and I was feeling overwhelmed in life and began to have feelings of not being able to live up to other’s expectations. I had actually begun putting my validation into what others said of me instead of what I knew of me. I was becoming a “human doing” instead of a “human being” and it was tearing me apart.
One part of me desperately wanted to succeed, and go into the fear of conquering the unknown, doing well in the future without guidance from a teacher, and one part was deathly terrified.overcoming failure and achieving lasting success, then you need to be willing to do the same. Work on the weakness that weakens you, and there’s no telling how far you will go. – John C Maxwell
