“I can see myself being very successful.
I know I have it in me to reach any level of success I want to.
Yet I hold myself back.
Because I am scared that if I become super successful(and at some level, I want to) I feel my life will spin out of control.
I will lose touch with who I am and all those that matter to me
And I’m not sure I am ready for that just yet…….”
These are the musings of a client who was extremely capable and driven yet subconsciously holding herself back.
And she is not alone.
Because on one side while success is exciting it can also be scary.
Or rather the changes that come with success can be scary.
Especially if you feel that the changes will not be aligned to your values or who you are at your core.
What comes up for you when you think of success? Does it excite you or does it scare you?
