Can You Handle Success
Every time you get close to achieving your goal and ultimate success, something pops up to ruin your focus, kill your motivation or sabotage your confidence. Something always stops you from taking that one last step and suddenly you have to start all over. Of course this something has a name; Fear of Success. Fear of Success is often even more dangerous than the fear of failure. More dangerous because it hides in the subconscious. Since were not fully aware of it, it keeps sneaking up on us. And as time passes, it becomes increasingly more difficult to take action and get motivated.
So whats causing you subconscious to behave this way? It could be that you are associating success with a negative result. You subconscious may be thinking Once I become successful Ill have to put in 15 hours a day, seven days a week. Or maybe Im not really ready to handle the responsibility of managing a huge successful business. Deep down inside your subconscious is protecting you by pointing out possible results you dont find desirable. But it doesnt have to be like that. You are capable of creating your own reality and the subsequent outcomes. So what can be done to defeat these fears?
The first step is to acknowledge the fear. Ask yourself, what are the negative thoughts you fear will ruin your dream. Make a list. Now develop 2 or 3 positive affirmations you are ready to embrace. Every time you feel the negative beliefs stirring, recite your affirmations until the feeling goes away. Eventually the negative beliefs will be replaced by the positive. Remember, what ever you want you can have, as soon as you conquer your fear of success.

The principle is competing against yourself. Its about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
