Failure is Comfortable

One MAJOR thing I've learned this year...
(No judgment, because I'm still there in certain areas of my life.)

Most people don't have a fear of failure. They have a fear of success.

Success usually means that you have to change your life in a major way.

It means you can't keep doing the same mediocre stuff in the same mediocre locations and letting the same mediocre people cheer on (or coddle) your mediocrity.

When success comes, you now want and need to be around people, places, and things that make moves and that scares you because it's different than what you're used to; you may need to leave your old life behind.

Instead, you barely try or you compile 50 million lists of things to do or you read ALLLLL the self help books or you run around looking "busy," but you're not really doing anything because you don't have any RESULTS.

Failure is comfortable... so you just stay where you are, pretend you tried or are trying, instead of taking real action, and then whine about it/feel sorry for yourself.

Your mind is playing tricks on you.
