Reasons Why You Fear Your Success

Reaching bold new heights of success is a dream that you have been wishing to come true, and yet each time you are given an opportunity to take that very same dream and make it a reality you deliberately take a step back. You let the opportunity pass you by and then wonder what would have happened if you had not let your fears and insecurities lead you astray. Here we focus on those seemingly small reasons why you fear fulfilling your own potential.

Self Doubt

Yes, that little inner voice that sits in judgment over all our actions is self doubt. Each time you decide that you can do something, there is a quick snarky blurt within the confines of your own mind telling you that maybe you are not quite as good as you think you are. Test it, tell yourself you can achieve your goal within a month and then listen to what come flooding through your mind. We are our own worst critics. We refuse to give ourselves permission to soar. Pursuing life goals and reaching our potential becomes extremely difficult when we ourselves don’t support our own actions.

Other People’s Opinion

If we fail in the endeavor we have put our heart and soul into, we are faced with our own insecurities. They may be nasty but we are familiar with them and can handle them. What happens if we do manage to succeed? We trigger other people’s insecurities and they will surely let us know in no uncertain terms that we have done them a great disservice. Are we willing to put ourselves out there to listen to their insecurities as a byproduct of our success? Or is it just better to let success elude us?

Reluctance to Change

If we succeed, the settled life we lead today will be completely changed. We will be facing a number of relationship changes which may seem like quite a personal upheaval in an otherwise comfortable life. Do we really need all that fame, money and success when it will spell the end of life how we know it today? This is one of the reasons why we may not be all that keen to find success even when we are working towards it and praying for it to happen.

Giving Yourself Permission to Succeed

When it comes to soaring in the clouds of success we are always looking at a safe place to land even before we actually take to the air. We anchor ourselves so well to the ground with our unfounded fears that we refuse to give ourselves permission to succeed. Now take a conscious decision to allow yourself to live your life purpose, and to succeed in the undertaking you are currently working on. Remember the choice is always in your hands. 

Here is an affirmation to help you use the Law of Attraction to draw your success to yourself – “Doors of opportunity now fly open for my dream. I am consistently presented with the opportunities and resources that I need to succeed in my life purpose.”
