Something we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves. – Robert Frost
There are times when it seems like everything should be going perfectly. The stars have aligned, the planets are in their right houses and fate is smiling down upon you, and you still can’t seem to accomplish what you have set out to do.
Sometimes it seems like we’re our own worst enemy and we sabotage ourselves without ever meaning to do so. Maybe it’s because we’re afraid of success. I see that frequently in the students I work with. We provide them support, give them a good foundation and they start to make progress, and then they will unexpectedly “crash and burn.” They’re afraid to succeed. They don’t know what success feels like or what to do with it, so they will find ways to fail. It’s not a conscious decision, but they just can’t seem to get out of their own way.
Don’t be afraid of success. Don’t get stuck in the now, and don’t be afraid of the future. You can do it – have faith in yourself and believe in yourself. You are worthy of the success that is headed your way!
