4 Signs You Are Intimidated By Your Own Success
Success is the goal for most of us, but often we don’t realize that we’re intimidated by our own success. Success means you’ve reached the goal that you have set. It doesn’t matter what and how it took to get to the goal. What matters is that success has been achieved. However, when we start thinking about how hard people work to reach success, the fear of success and failure starts to creep in because we believe we cannot sustain it. Fear and intimidation can be overwhelming and terrifying as it leads us down a path of negative thoughts and setting goals that don’t align with our life. We can overcome fear and intimidation by learning to work and shift our mindset. Mindset is everything. It determines how you show up for yourself, your family, and your work.
