Day 15: Why We Fear Success More Than Failure

Self-sabotage often happens just before the breakthrough Missing the deadline. Not making the call. Suddenly losing motivation. Picking unnecessary fights. Talking yourself out of an opportunity. Instead of only asking: “Why am I afraid of failing?” people should also ask: “What would change in my life if I actually succeeded?” That question can reveal the real fear. Maybe success means more responsibility. Maybe it means leaving familiar people behind. Maybe it means being seen. Maybe it means no longer having an excuse. Maybe it means becoming the person you've always said you wanted to become.
