So who are you working with?

What does Big Hassle Media do? Online promotional stuff?


yea...big hassle seems to be involved in online marketing as far as i can tell, they havent responded to my email yet..

and as for the other question...i dont wanna talk candidly about it yet


That's cool, good luck with all that! That's very exciting!

I don't think you have a fear of success at all. I just think you like to talk about awesome things that are happening and there is nothing wrong with that.


Or at least, that's my take on it. wink

As for the topic... What the hell is fear of success? I don't understand, what is there to fear in succeeding at something? Fear of failure I can comprehend but not success. If it's your dream, then go for it. It is way better to be able to live and say that you went for it, than to live and say that you regret not going for it.

A while ago I got made redundant. It was actually quite good, because I would say I was no more than a couple of weeks away from resigning. At that point I had decided to start doing something for myself. Now I'm a month or two away from knowing if it's going to work out and allow me to continue, but I can tell you something for certain. I sure as shit aint worried that things will be successful. I'm a bit worried that things will fall down and I'll have to go back to working for someone else but I'll cross that bridge if I get to it.
RIP sad

lol ...you would see me that way

but im positive its a fear of success cuz as things have gotten better (aka the closer i get to more oppurtunities i've always claimed i want) i get hella scared. i mean thats the only thing it could be right? i usedta didnt understand how someone could fear something positive, but i see it has more to do with how worthy a person feels of the things they seek. anyone who knows me knows me can tell you i have issues with self worth (even if my flirtatious altegoish side hides it pretty well)..

but thank you for wishing me luck!

its weird...im at a bridge between my past veiw of self (which lacked all faith) and the veiw i believe i MUST have (that i am capabale of anything)..

so i know now i can do great and maybe even unbelievable things (enough to convince others) but when im alone in my room, those other voices kick in and i start questioning EVERYTHING..

but that shit is for the birds so "on we go.."

i take it you have a pretty solid image of self.

i understand how confusing it must sound to hear that people fear success...but its moreso that one fears their ability to maintain success once achieved

I love Tavis. Don't hate him for this; he's ALWAYS been Prince's bitch. I remember when Prince was on his PBS show about 10 years ago, and Tavis was queening his ass off to lick his little jock. You can't blame him for being a fan. lol
