Fear can be a catalyst for good and bad. How can someone be afraid of success? I explore the concept of fearing success of the perceived accolades of society, money, relationships, career advancement, etc. Reviewing and sharing moments from my life where the mind feared the success but my heart desires the outcome leading to life changing forks in the road. During these pivot points in my history, my mind usually won preventing growth opportunities. Ironically I never feared the failure, failing seemed easy, requiring no effort, success seemed difficult. My mind took these moments to extreme depths , creating illusions of such grandeur levels never to be reached.
