You Sabotage Your Own Success!

By Mike Wang

Are you often faced with a problem of thinking that you have achieved your goals and often relax or give up before the final lap of the journey? Why is it that we cannot stretch ourselves and spur ourselves on to greater success?

Consider that you have been sabotaging yourself in your pursuit of success and placing limitation on what is possible for you to achieve. I have just attended a 3 day seminar why I saw one of the participants sort of gave up on the seminar on the second day. Why did he do that?

He was doing all of the assignments and achieving great results in the first 2 days of the seminar. In fact, he was getting so much results that it way exceeded his expectations and he was questioning how is it possible for one person to achieve so much in a short span of time.

He gave up on doing the assignments as he thought that it is better to grasp whatever he has gotten and "leave" before he faced with the ultimate fear of disappointment that he would be thwarted in having his expectation fulfilled. Kind of silly? Think again, are there any areas in your life where you sabotage your success by vacating early after you achieve some sort of success.

Human beings are so afraid of failure! We live in a make believe world of our own that if things don't go well, something is wrong and only when things go smoothly and the way that we expected then we are satisfied. Small wonder why we are constantly disappointed and unfulfilled to the extent that we are afraid of "failing" anymore.

Resolve to play the game of your life as a world class champion. Take your current endeavors as games that you play full out and accept 100% responsibility for their results. Practice makes perfect and it is only through constant practice that an athletic can play in the Olympics. Failure is only a way of finding out things that do not work. Have the determination to push through and achieve success in the world-class arena in life!
