The Shadow Side of Success

18m | Apr 28, 2023

In this solo episode, I talk about the two biggest blocks for success: our fear of failure and the heaviness of previous success. As humans, we are wired to crave success and avoid failure. However, sometimes our fear of failure can become so strong that it holds us back from taking risks and pursuing our goals. On the other hand, previous success can also become a block for future success if we become too attached to it and are afraid to step out of our comfort zones.


Fear of failure can be paralyzing. It can prevent us from taking action, trying new things, and pursuing our dreams. But failure is not the end of the world. In fact, it can often be a valuable learning experience that helps us grow and develop. The key is to reframe our mindset around failure and view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a source of shame or embarrassment.


On the other hand, the heaviness of previous success can also be a block for future success. When we achieve a significant goal or reach a high level of success, it can be tempting to rest on our laurels and become complacent. We may feel like we've already achieved everything we set out to do and that there's no need to push ourselves further. 


To overcome these blocks, we need to cultivate a growth mindset and focus on continuous learning and improvement. We need to be willing to take risks, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and avoid becoming too attached to our past successes. By doing so, we can open ourselves up to new opportunities and achieve even greater levels of success in the future.
