I have several times stepped back from the precipice of so-called success.

Indeed, I KNOW I have created obstacles or not responded to people or opportunities because there has been a resistance within. I would not call it a fear, although others have. Indeed, most of those others who have claimed-accused that I have fear of success have had financial investment in me taking a particular path. And been annoyed that I have chosen to step back. Burst their bubble and their meal ticket. Damn. How dare I.
In my life I have learned to trust my intuition and to see so-called negatives as pivot points.
I appreciate the energy of frustration, because it is ME screaming about misalignment of and within my self, my feelings and my thoughts with what appears to be. When I welcome and listen to the rantings of my frustrated self as a neutral observer, I very quickly learn what needs to pivot within. It is a next-level meditation.
Just yesterday, I laughed and said to my daughter, Wow - Thank the Goddess THAT didn't work out with THAT person! Because with the benefit of time and hindsight and a vastly changed global and business landscape, it would have been a disaster. And as what I want has become clearer, and I have been brave enough to embrace that, it's clear THAT thing that I narrowly avoided would have been a serious setback, distraction and a dead end.
Success, ultimately, is nothing more than the value OTHERS place on achievement.
I have come to understand, having had this "fear of success" in numbers of ways, with numbers of people, that there is a pattern. And the pattern is that those people and opportunities look good to who I have been at that moment, but have been misaligned with who I need to step up and become.
My "Fear of Success" has been my Intuitive Super-Power.
The stepping back from what I could FEEL was not right for me has protected me from diversion. Yes, it has held me in limbo, sometimes seemingly forever. And financially constrained. But what is time anyway, in the Great Eternal Now? The constellation of what needed to be there, for me, was not quite ready.
What matters to me now, more than anything, is the resonance of values. The vibration.
The more I practice it, the easier it gets. I am beginning to no longer need to have a fear of success or to step away from things, since I am no longer calling those misaligned energies & people into my experience.
I AM and HAVE called things into my world that feel RIGHT. Which are snowballing and evolving perfectly and which have a clean energy about them that makes me sing. As I smile and sing and attend to this day with energy and enjoyment, there is only GRATITUDE for my Intuitive Super-Power. It has held me, constrained me and protected me, like a glass house protects a fragile seed that is not quite ready to be battered by harsh winds or unexpected frosts. The seedling might moan about not having fruit like the big tree outside, but its petty complaints are laughable in the face of the perspective of all that is, can and will be.
If someone accuses you of "Fear of Success" (cos this phrase is never thrown around as a positive!), I would encourage you to reframe the thought and envisage your Intuitive Super-Power as a protective energy.

Embrace it and give thanks. And be brave and strong enough to stand in your own void, without anyone's approval or definition of success, until what is perfect and aligned with your highest purpose manifests. You will know. And it is always pleasant and easy.
This is my response to Abundance.Tribe's BiWeekly Question: Are you afraid of your own success.
