It’s easy to miss the difficult parts of success. Success seems great to all of us. If you have that success, you have nothing to be upset about anymore… right? Wrong!
When you start becoming successful, you have more to lose when you fail than if you have no success at all. This becomes a major stressor.
Falling from failure to total failure is bad, but it’s much worse to fall from semi-successful to failure. Hence we see why some people can’t handle the pressure that comes with success.
We're usually more fixated on the potential for a small failure and we completely ignore the potential for the same action having incredible success.
We must develop the courage to continue operating freely and recklessly even when we wear the heavy jacket of success.
