Most people, after one success, are so cringingly afraid of doing less well that they rub all the edge off their subsequent work.
- Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)
A lot of people admit to fearing failure.
But could we also be afraid of success?
What is success anyhow? A large bank account? An over sized house? A European vehicle? An overstuffed closet? A perfect bikini body?
Success has nothing to do with material gain or earthly possessions. Success is being at peace with ourselves. Success is being joyful for ourselves and for others. Success is freedom of expression. Success is having an army of loved ones cheering us on through life.
