Success is Scarey

Success is Scarey

Alot of things going on with the success issue.

Like losing yourself and not being able to find yourself.

That was a scarey thing for me.

The self image you have now and the image you're imagining that you'll have if you do the things they're telling you to do and the two don't match.

You're way over here and in order for those other things to happen you'd have to be way over there and you don't know who that person would be or how that person would feel.

But probably even more importantly, you don't know how the transition will come about.

Fear.

It's why you choose certain subjects over other subjects when you're going to college.

Do I have the potential to be an engineer or a chemist?

Heck no!

My level of intelligence is no where near that.

When you get out of your element then stresss is the result.

My question though is whether I'm able to become those things?

Am I able to do those things and still maintain the integrity of my identity?

Sometimes life makes you do things that are hard for you to do but are good for you.

My question to myself is how do I know which thing is which?

How do you know if it's something that will ultimately be good for you or something that is incongruent with you and will cause you to lose your way.

The ability to be clear in my thinking and the ability to make sound business decisions.
