Fear of Success
Many people who experienced trauma in their childhood realize that they are trapped. They haven’t matured in the same way most other people have. At that point, they understand that they need to accelerate their maturing process.
In the moment of that realization. One of the most important things you can do is acknowledge that your life is not in accordance with the person you’re capable of being. That said, most people are terrified of their own potential. Only the most mentally stable and disciplined manage to actually do what they know needs to be done.
Accountability
On the backside of doing some really difficult things, you may actually become who you dream of becoming and do the things that you desire. We all wish it were easy and that there was a set path that you needed to follow to achieve success, but the truth is that we’re all on a different journey.
The one thing that people who have been able to create change in their lives all have in common is that they have acknowledged that everything that happens in their life is up to them. They took responsibility for making their lives better rather than lamenting over the difficult position they were in.
Acknowledging Where You Come From
We’re the sum of all of our experiences leading up to this moment. That means everything that ever happened in our life informs who we are at this time. Therefore, to get where you want to go, you must understand how you got to where you are.
Unless you have a clear idea of where you’re going, created based on understanding who you are, nothing is going to change. If you’re unable to look at where you’ve come from and all the experiences you’ve had, you can never plot a path forward.
