What is scary about success?
If you meet your goals, then what?
If you achieve your dreams, what is left?
Recent suicides by celebrities tell us repeatedly that suicide is not exclusive to failures.
Imagine, you are told all your life when you are Successful you will be Happy.
What happens when you become a success and you still aren't happy?
I've come across several famous people that clawed, scratched and climbed up the ladder of success only to find out it was leaning against the wrong wall.
My high school reunion years ago, I talked to one of my friends I lost track of when we both graduated. She struggled and fought to become a successful lawyer only to realize she hates it. She was in the process of selling her part in a successful business to move to the country and open a Bed and Breakfast inn.
Scary thing about success when you finally get their do you like what you got?
I am finishing projects that waited years to get done. I'm still having nightmares. I am stressing to new levels of anxiety. I am doing the things I always planned to do. They are becoming their own obsession. Do I have my ladder against the wrong wall?
Have you told yourself before....
when I get this then I will be happy...…..
When I graduate I will be happy
When I get my own car I will be happy
When I get married then I will be happy...…….
When life is easy then I will be happy
All these success do NOT equal happiness.
A while ago I watched Jim Carry's speech to College graduates. I looked up what he is up to now. He hit the top......Now what?
I believe the speech is worth a half hour of your time if you are interested.
