I’m going to get you really thinking with this post.
When we procrastinate, doubt ourselves and hold ourselves back, it may not be a fear of failing that causes us to do these things, it could actually be a fear of succeeding!
Think about it, what happens when you begin to succeed? You get thrust into the spotlight, all eyes start being on you and you start being the centre of attention.
The results of being successful can be scary!
Ask yourself something. Are you scared of fucking up?
Now think about not messing up but doing the opposite, you do everything right and Mr Success comes to visit.
This happened to me back in my archery days. While I was working towards being a champion archer, nobody really noticed me, I was in the shadows and could just carry on doing my thing.
Then the British championships happened and my first attempt saw me coming second and getting the silver medal. People noticed me, people watched me, people suddenly started to monitor everything I did, whether it was my work ethic when practising or what I was achieving in the single-day tournaments.
Then the first gold medal happened, the national records happened and everything was amplified. There was archery media attention at tournaments, every shot was watched and analysed on the Thursday and Friday evenings at local clubs.
BUT…..
This wasn’t an overnight thing, the more things you do right, the more attention you get but it’s a slow-burn and usually at a pace you can get used to.
One of the big worries is that people are going to go from obscure to fame in the time it takes to have a good night sleep, but it’s not like that.
I promise you, the journey of success is easier and smoother than you think.
Our mind creates this big thing about it, turns cute little kittens into wild tigers, a tiny puddle into a deep lake and a speed ramp into a whole mountain. The reality is much nicer and easier to swallow.
I can help you on this journey to success, help you navigate the worries and the fears and help you celebrate when you make it.
