What does the fear of success look like?
Fearing the consequences of success can manifest in subtle and obvious ways, such as:
Low goals. You set the bar low to keep yourself from being challenged.
Procrastination. You stall just enough to let opportunity pass.
Perfectionism. You strive for perfection and when you inevitably fall short, that’s reason enough not to proceed.
Quitting. Just when you’re on the verge of success, you find a reason to quit.
Self-destructiveness. Substance abuse and other self-destructive behaviors may serve to derail success.
Any of these behaviors can keep you from realizing your full potential.
