Question of the Day: Day 151

Have you ever been so afraid of being successful at something that you made yourself fail?
What was scary about it and how did you overcome it?

I wouldn't say afraid. More apprenhensive maybe. It's deep in my psyche I suppose, but when something really clicks, I can't enjoy it, not because I think it will go away, but because consistancy is so hit and miss for me. I wouldn't purposely cause myself failure, but somewhere deep inside my head there is a reduced expectation of success. I work on it, but I was ADD before it had a name, and I don't medicate, so my attempts are strictly organic realizations and any victories are welcome but not necessarily celebrated.

Sadly, I used to think that when something really good happened & all was going well, it was too good to be true & the Nicle Back song says,
"I just feel that I'm constantly dreaming... ...
Cuz something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good".
A Murphy's law kind of thing.

But, I've made progress & know to enjoy life... just enjoy all the good- without "what if" thinking, and to go thru the bad in order to get thru it; the bad times help us to be greatful for good blessings
.
I've been alive long enough to know
that as far as good & bad days, or moods... "they will change."

Not really.

I am much more worried about not being good enough or of failing than I am of being successful.
