How to get over your Fear of Writing Success

Do you let internal small childish fears about rejection direct your life or you listen to the voice inside of you that tells you to try. To give. To keep building and making something new.

Most people will cheer you on. Most people will want you to succeed. Anyone who does not want you to succeed does not belong in your life.

Everyone is an expert at failure. Everyone can point out how “this won’t work,” or “that won’t work” or my personal favorite, “you suck.”

And they are right. For them, these haters, these non-friends, these ID 10 T’s are absolutely correct. To them you do suck.

And why would you want to have that in your life? Cut them out.

Find the people who will support you. I found it in running. I tried 4 100 mile races over the last 12 months and my running friends didn’t care that I was only able to finish 2. They said things like, “You still ran 50 (or 60 Miles).” “Good job.” “Great effort.”

Sometimes success is in the trying.

I’ve been working/trying to start a new business. I’ve had a couple of good months, and I’m still learning and trying.

But I’m scared. I have been scared. And I realized that the fear comes from a place of being rejected. Feeling rejected. It’s a childish feeling about writing that I’ve carried since college, when a Professor told me I sucked.
