Why do people have a fear of success?

Dien -

It's in good old Newton's laws again - those that make excuses continue to make excuses as they continue in the same path.

Those that have some stimuli and energy (positive or negative) acted upon them, will of necessity change course, for good or bad.

In my opinion, change for change sake is not good - if one is truly happy in their lot in life, then God bless and let live.

However, if someone grumbles inordinately without taking action, then a little negative KITA (ala Peter Drucker) is in order and can help move them along their Path of Life.

NO judgement, just observation, 'cuz I've had a lot of negative KITA (i.e., Kick in the ****) applied to me by life so far. Very humbling! :-)

Take care, Bob
