A lot of people think they have a fear of failing, but actually it’s not the failing that you’re afraid of, it is the fear of success. Hear me out before you judge
If you have an area of your life that you’re not happy with then you’re already failing there, so you HAVE success there. You ARE failing there. Yes, smarty that’s a success, but not the type of success you’d like to have lol.
It might disguise itself as something else like unworthiness or lack of self-love, you can give it any name you want. Truth is that you have a fear to be successful for a reason that only you can uncover.
Take this poem by Marianne Williamson. It says it all.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
PS. You know – because you read my blog more often – that it’s a VERSION OF YOU that has the fear of Success. Another version of you is already successful, has it ALL. And exactly THAT version of you, led you to read this blogpost.
She / He nudged you, through a random series of coincidences you were led to this blog or this post and now you’re reading, feeling it and thinking about it, which is the first step.
What the second step is depends on you. You might research more about Conscious Creation. You might draw a line in the sand and scream NO MORE [ this can seriously be enough too ] you might decide to work with a coach [ me for instance ] or you decide to choose an option that I can’t fathom, and that totally suits you.
In any case, know with ALL YOUR BEING … THAT YOU … ALL OF YOU …. DESERVES TO HAVE ….. AND EXPERIENCE SUCCESS.
AMEN.
See you in the next, and as always you can contact me for questions, for requests on topics or for some random love you’d like to share with me email me
Much love,
