September is upon us, and we are going to talk about Success, more importantly, the Fear of Success and how to Overcome it. A lot of men, in fact, a lot of people are afraid of success. This is because success is generally an unknown realm for everyone, as it always takes a different shape and form for what we imagine it to be. It is also different for each human being, and so is the experience of success. Dr. Glover states that it is logical to avoid doing what might lead to success if success might bring all of the problems your brain fears it will. There are various reasons why Nice Guys fear success. This is a two-part discussion. For this discussion, we are going to discuss ways to identify your fears and your self-limiting beliefs about success and develop the confidence that you can handle whatever success brings. These include developing a gratitude practice, practicing receiving, celebrating your successes, and letting go of resentment. We will also discuss breaking free from co-dependent relationships by building support systems, learning to say “no,” and becoming a “good ender.”
