Ways to Overcome Your Fear of Success | Tri-Star MA Academy

It might seem odd, but most people are afraid of success. In fact, most people are intimidated by any change, whether it’s positive or negative. Though it seems silly to be afraid of making more money, getting in better shape, or improving your dating pool, it’s a common affliction.

However, if you want greater success, it’s necessary to minimize your fear of success.

The key to effectively dealing with this fear is the same as dealing with any other: attack it from multiple angles.

Consider these ideas to defeat your fear of success:

Expand your performance ceiling. We have an internal comfort level for different areas of our life. You stay where you’re comfortable. Accomplishing something bigger and better is easier if you can feel comfortable thinking about it.

  • We might feel comfortable at 190 pounds, but the mere idea of being lean at 170 pounds just doesn’t feel right.
  • Making $50,000 a year feels about right, but the idea of earning $200,000 makes your stomach unsettled.
  • Maybe you feel comfortable dating someone with average looks, but your palms sweat when you think about dating a “10.”\
  • Imagine what you want to accomplish and just relax your shoulders. Do this for a few minutes each day. Keep at it until it becomes natural and familiar.

Reject the criticism of others. One of our fears revolves around the opinions of others. We fear what they’ll think or say if we’re successful. In general, people don’t like change. You instinctively know that some people will struggle with your success.

  • Realize that this is the other person’s issue. Anyone that isn’t happy for your success might not deserve a place in your life. This can be a good test to determine whom you want to keep in your life. Be successful and notice how people react.
  • If you become more successful, you’re going to lose a few people and gain a few. This is true whether you switch from watching baseball to football, switch religions, change salaries, or change hobbies. Create the life you desire, and the right people will come along.

Embrace failure. Afraid of failing? Why? You’ll undoubtedly fail at least a few times as you achieve success. The quicker you fail, the quicker you’ll find success. Believe that and this fear becomes inconsequential.

Accept the responsibility. Choosing to be successful is a big responsibility. Most of us avoid responsibility in life. You’ll have to become responsible for your plans, behavior, and the outcome. This isn’t so scary when you realize the other option is luck. Take control of your life.

See yourself as successful. Visualize yourself being successful. Do this each day. The more you can see yourself being successful, the more comfortable it becomes. Make this a habit that you do first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Avoid underestimating how powerful this can be when done regularly.

Are you stuck because you’re afraid of success? Many others are in the same boat. We’re not happy, but the thought of becoming successful is stressful. Most people opt to stick with what they know.

You don’t have to allow the fear of success to limit the rest of your life. You can choose to overcome it.

The fear of success might not make sense, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. If you’re struggling to take your life to a new level, perhaps a fear of success is standing in your way.
