"...a voice of encouragement for those who believe success is impossible."
Susan Jeffers, Ph.D. author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
It is famously written and quoted that we are more scared of our power, of our light than our dark, but here is something else: I think that many of us are ashamed of our power. Because we were not always powerful. We were all small once, we have all been scared, of something real or unreal, usually both, we have all had to hide or run.
This is just one of the origins of fear of success. This book is written to shed light on: -
- The problem - what is fear of success?
- The solutions - how do we get through our fear of success to embrace our authenticity?
- The origins - what are the causes, the roots of our fear, sometimes we have to address the problem at its source.
To enjoy life.
Anything is possible.
