Fear of success

[Girlpower]

Quote from IN2WIN:

Best way to overcome fear of success, is replace it with a greater feeling of the "joy of success".

Agreed. Wise words indeed!

Of course if you're secretly trying to fail, and do so; you have actually succeeded anyway!!

Which of course leaves you with:-

For all sad words of tongue and pen,
the saddest are those

'It might have been'

Seykota hits upon this theme in his Market Wizards book interview (I took a snapshot of Schwager's summary):

The Peter Principle!

being afraid of traveling to the next level, has nothing to do with the inability to get there. in fact, the fear is a direct result of knowing you can make it not incompetence as your post implies.

What is "success"? What is "failure"? I subscribe to the notion of "IS ism". Seeing as they "ARE", as it "IS" as it truly exists in its unfettered state without the fickle frailty of human nature. Can you see this? :-(

these terms are defined by the society in which you live--- OR you can step outside of convention thereby defining them yourself.

i choose not to mediate on a mountain, i choose the challenge of THEIR definition of success while being surrounded by, yet maintaining a cool detachment of , all things material...
