Hello everyone, I hope everyone is okay. heart

Today I wanted to mention about "Fear of Success" which I know many people are experiencing it.

1st: Identify your fear. There are many types of fear of success and each requires a different kind of handling.I'm giving a link that can be a guide for your identification. ( https://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/what-you-have-fear-success.html )

2nd: Try to build self-confidence. Try to write down your previous successes and think about what did it cost you to cause fear of success. Also, another way to build self-confidence is accepting failure. Failure is part of being human. The important thing is getting some experiences and lessons from your failure.

3rd: Try to think about how fear is limiting you. If you know your limits you can work on them.

Did you experience fear of success? If you did, what do/did you do to overcome your fear of success? I was scared to succeed as in the past when I succeed in something the after-effects would usually always be negative. After some time I just accepted the hard work that I did in my life.

Want to share your biggest success in life? Getting into a college

What does success means to you? Completing a task or doing well in a task that I love doing.

Hello~

yes Did you experience fear of success? If you did, what do/did you do to overcome your fear of success?

Yes. Even if I seek it, I'm also afraid of it, mostly due to the awareness that no sort of 'good' things, including but not limited to success, will last long enough for me to enjoy it. Often I comfort myself by reminding myself that even if I will fail again, I'm probably going to be able to regain what I had or earn something even better, just like the time before I could succeed.

yes Want to share your biggest success in life?

To my standard, there really is no 'big' success in my life at the moment. There are only small ones here and there, which I believe, if accumulated, may as well make up something 'big' :)

yes What does success means to you?

Being able to live up to my own standards and expectations, I think~
