Have you ever found yourself procrastinating? or finding other things to do before you set out to achieve one or more of your goals? or maybe your not even setting goals for yourself even though you know that it is one of the best things for you?
I have.
I realized that I have a fear of success. I noticed it when I was reviewing the past couple of years. I realized that every time things start going really well for me, and I start building a great momentum up, that I end up slacking off on my work. I stop setting goals for myself, finding other things to do rather than doing what I know I need to do, and not making phone calls or setting up meetings that I should be doing.
I started analyzing this.
A few things that I'm afraid of are,
Some of my friends will be jealous and will not treat me the same.
Losing myself, getting so involved in my business that I won't be the same person anymore.
I don't deserve it.
Now that I have noticed this and broke it down, I can now dig deeper into these issues and come to understand why and where they come from, and work on changing my mindset on these things.
This has really been the only thing holding me back.
Can anyone else relate?
