Fear of Success?

I think it is not unusual to be afraid of failure. We all are afraid to some extent. I also think fear of success is not unusual either. "Be not afraid of greatness." Twelfth Night. Yet what holds us back from even trying? A voice in your head? One that isn't even yours? A parent or a teacher who once told you you weren't good enough? Auntie or Uncle, Grandparent? One thinks that it's a grown ups job to encourage a child's believe in him/herself right? Well, this was not the case for many of us. And for a lot of children in the world , it is still not the case. This is behavior that has to change. I know I'm doing my best to change that for my family. This can only really happen one person at a time. Changing the way we behave or react to situations has a trickle down effect. Or ripples out. Let's get on that people. Peace out.
