It seems this subject can strike a nerve and does have a personal ellement to it.

Whilst I agree with some comments made, others I disagree - the point is we all have our own thoughts and opinions which leads me to conclude ...

That a fear of success is not as clearly defined as some people state it is.

I personaly still have trouble clearly understanding a "Fear os success". Whilst I understand that some say people they don't want to step out of their comfort zones and don't want more success, I think its peoples fear of how they will handle success that hold's them back.

In my mind it all relates back to fear of failing once. Even if you know you can succed to the next level a fear of reaching it and having to take the next step, and possibly fail then is a fear fo success.

Mike, I loved you comments. I too like to "have a go at everything even if sometimes I'm afraid". I just have a need to experience differnt feelings and emotions. That in itself drives me and gives me energy.

It's called ....LIFE!

Thanks everyone for your comments on this subject, I might print out this thread and take it along to my next speaking engagement - I love a good argument ...er ... debate!

Lot's of success to you all...
Jason
