“it’s generally better to state what it is you want rather than what you don’t.” – True! If you do the opposite one then you’ll end up stressed and unhappy, and you’ll end up ranting everyday!

I wrote a while ago about a fear of success. You gave me some great advise, I applied it, and went to see a hypnotherapist here in Vancouver. I told him about your web site and what you wrote. He helped me eradicate a parlziing life long fear. I feel fantastic. Thank you very, very much. Not only for taking the time to write, also for the great suggested about stepping into the future and watching for the response. It worked ! I look forward to getting your CDs.

All the best,

I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the article. Thanks for breaking this down as I agree many people just write goals and then stop when they don’t reach them. The problem is most people never learned how to actually write and create well crafted goals. Good article Keith.

I remember one time where, as soon as she got a good feeling going, a student of mine immediately began to feel badly. It turns out that she had had something bad happen to her earlier in her life immediately after something really positive had happened. When she experienced something good she started waiting for “the other shoe to drop.”

In her case, we regressed back to the original event and did some processing there.

Other instances can revolve around a sense of self worth. There may be part of you that feels you don’t deserve success. If that’s the case, different techniques may be called for.

Guilt can be a factor as well.

In all of these cases there is a way to resolve the situation. Perhaps the easiest way is to think about yourself succeeding. Really step into it and be there first person, in your future, succeeding. Chances are you’ll have a thought intrude. Perhaps a bad feeling, maybe a piece of internal dialog, maybe an image of something happening.

Whatever it is, that’s your first clue as to the origin of what’s stopping you. Let me know how that goes.

It sounds to me like you just need to work past that. Do the work though, delve into exactly what is causing you to feel that way, figure out whats hanging around your energy field and find a way to let it go. You need to work through your feelings of unworthiness and heal. I wish you the best in this journey.

I am a talented writer but afraid of my talent. I have great material, great stories, been offered jobs and contracts, but am afraid to succeed. It feels too good. It’s pure wish fulfillment. My dream come true. Is there a way to get past this ? How can I accept my talent, enjoy it, and just happily succeed ?. I have massive guilt and feelings of unworthiness from growing up in poverty. I put myself through school and courses but now I am stuck. Thanks in advance…

Thanks
