Are YOU Afraid Of Success?
This is one of those questions that can be really makes us think….
“Am I truly afraid of success?” 
The problem is that when we’re asked this question, most of us reply with a lie. We chuckle a bit and answer with “ no way am I afraid of success” then we chuckle a bit more. Some of us don’t really pay attention to the question much until we’re all alone. Until we’re sitting there contemplating our lives, goals, and so forth, that’s when the truth really comes out.
ARE YOU REALLY AFRAID OF SUCCESS?
The reason most of us are afraid is that success lies in waters that we’ve never wandered in before. It’s like when you were little and you learned how to swim and everyone is trying to get you to go to the deep end of the pool. You know the fear that you felt then, well those of you who learned how to swim.
But you get where I'm going with this…..
Others of you may have felt the same fear when you were learning how to drive. You know damn well you wanted to drive, and at the end of your goal was that amazing license and those shiny keys. The car was your servant and you were it’s master, it listened to your every move.
But then all of the sudden you felt that fear, that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach.
SELF DOUBT!
It tore you up from the inside out, and then you started to sweat, and questions started floating around in your head. What If I wreck into something, what If I do something wrong…
What if, what if, what if……. IT NEVER STOPS!
The same can be said for those of you who are trying to lose weight. Those what ifs start to pop up, why? Because you’re treding in new waters again, it’s scary to be out in somewhere you’ve never been too before.
So what happens?
I’ll tell you a few things that can happen….
1.YOU SIMPLY NEVER ACT ON WHAT YOU WANT TO ACT ON.
You talk a big talk, but when it comes time to get down to action, guess what happens?
NOT A DAMN THING!
You keep talking and people listen for a little bit, but eventually they taper off and so does your talk. You just get on something new and start to talk about that until eventually nobody listens to you at all about anything. Then what happens is that you become a bitter person and think that the world is against your every move.
Am I right?
2. YOU ACT, BUT AS SOON AS MOMENTUM HITS….. YOU SLACK OFF!
Some of us act on something and start to see some results. But then what happens is those damn destructive thoughts start to come about. Or we get someone that talks negative about our actions and we freeze up. We become the stone statue in the garden of medusa. We live off of those few moments of success that we tasted and tell stories of how it wasn’t meant to be.
3. YOU HATE EVERYTHING AND THINK NEGATIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT CAN BRING POSITIVE CHANGE!
You may be one of those people, or you may know one of those types of people. The type of person that hates everything that has to do with change. The type of person that thinks EVERYTHING is a scam, and that everything is based off of luck. This type of person won’t try because in their eyes, it simply won’t work. It doesn’t matter WHAT IT IS. They think it’s going to be met with failure!
I like to call these people DREAM KILLERS!
IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR US?
Yes there is… but I’m not going to lie, it’s going to take some hard work and effort. You can’t build a skyscraper in a day. You have to lay out the plans, set goals, work hard, and keep at it. You won’t meet success the following day after you try something. You have to bust your ass day in and day out. 
Here are a few tips to get you on the right path!
1. Don’t think about things you want to start on too much. once you have a plan in place, set goals and know where you’re going, just take ACTION. Don’t let yourself think about what it is that you’re going to do too much. If you end up doing this, you won’t ever act on whatever it is that you want to do.
2. Take baby steps – If you take things one small step at a time, you will celebrate your small achievements and stay in the game longer than you would without doing this. If you’re goal is set way too big and far apart, you’ll end up quitting before you get there.
3. Keep at it and keep the ball rolling – What I mean by this is once you get momentum going on your side, don’t slack off. The hard part of momentum is that when you start to get it moving, once it stops it’s hard to get it back in motion.
These are just a few tips, but hopefully these tips will get you moving in the right direction. Remember only YOU can make things happen, stop relying on others to do that for you.
Much Success
