Are your fears sabotaging your success?

Let’s suppose you want to be a successful song writer. You’ve received encouragement from people in the music profession that you have definitely got talent and should keep pursuing this career. You’ve worked incredibly hard at writing a large number of original songs and you’ve been affirming your success with positive affirmations. But the rejections keep coming.

How Do You Know if You’re Blocking Your Success?

Imagine that your desire is fulfilled and then examine how you truly feel about this. Are you really excited? Do you feel completely comfortable with achieving this goal? Or is there some underlying negative feeling you can’t quite place that is dampening your excitement?

If you don’t feel 100% excited at the prospect of achieving your desire it could be that you have an underlying fear associated with this that is blocking you from achieving your goal. The universe cannot bring you what you desire if you are not absolutely clear that this is what you truly want.

Addressing the Blockage to Your Success

So if you think there may be something blocking your success imagine that you have achieved what you’ve asked for and then ask yourself what it is that you are afraid might happen as a result of achieving this goal. Be absolutely honest with yourself. When you discover what it is ask yourself the question ‘What is the worse thing that could happen?’ You may discover that whatever it is that you’re afraid of is not such a big deal after all and is something you could easily handle if you just think it through a bit. Then try imagining yourself achieving your goal again and see how you feel. If you have successfully worked through your fear you should now feel much happier about achieving your goal and you can go back to affirming your success.
