Fear of Success
Weird as it may sound, but there really is fear of success and it often leads to procrastination. So how does this happen?
There are people who are afraid of succeeding. It is not actually fear of succeeding a certain thing but fear of facing the next step. Like in education, we fear of what will happen to us after we graduate. Because staying in school is like being dependent. You get allowance, you are being fed well, and the likes. But after going to school, allowances will be cut and much are expected from you. Sometimes, we also prolong a project for the fear that we might lose something to work on if we finish it.
Although success leads to another stepping stone, it should not be feared. We must understand that life continues after every event in our lives. You must be ready with the consequences of success. We just have to remember that after every success, we must take a better step in continuing life. We have learned a lot from experience and so we are ready to take another step after succeeding on the last one.
Success should inspire us, give us courage and confidence, make us stronger, and the experience should serve as our guide in taking the next step.
