How To Overcome Your Fear Of Success

Ever hear about someone eating something spicy, and once

they get the spices down, it makes them start sweating?



Well, the other day I was eating lunch with a friend of mine

-- Mexican food -- and immediately after gobbling down some

hot salsa, sweat starts pouring down my buddy's face, like

he was a fat man in a sauna.



The truth is, sometimes in anticipation of you crossing the

finish line on a project you're working on, your mind

becomes filled with anxiety and fears -- and suddenly YOU

start sweating.



Some of your fears will be real ("What if your project

fails?")... and... some of them will simply be perceived

("What will my significant other think of me?" and...

ironically, "What if your project fails?").



Steven Pressfield, in his book, The War Of Art, calls these

fears, thoughts and worries, "Resistance".



And "sensing" Resistance, is actually a good thing.



See, when you feel resistance slowly creeping its way into

the back of your mind, it usually means you're about to do

something with explosive potential -- maybe something that

will even change your life forever.



Hockey great Wayne Gretsky once said, "You miss 100% of the

shots you never take."



So start shooting, and don't be afraid.



My mentor once told me, most of the fears that spend their

time preoccupying your thoughts (and wasting your time),

have all been created, from the ground up, by you --

inside the walls of your own mind.



So don't let all these silly notions and all that other

negative B.S. hold you back.



I know, just as well as you do, that these "bad" thoughts

usually start playing themselves over-and-over again in the

back of your mind, like some kind of vicious broken tape

recorder... usually at the times you LEAST need to hear them.



Don't worry though.



It's just Resistance telling you you're getting a little out

of your comfort zone, and that you're on the right track.



So start taking your shots, and don't be so afraid -- even

if you are sweating like the fat man in the sauna.
