It may be that you are causing your own downfall without even realizing it. This is a trait that can be changed with the correct thinking and should be altered in order for you to succeed.

Have you been having issues with attaining the success you think you really deserve lately? Well, perhaps you are preventing your own success with self sabotage. “That can’t be, I really want to succeed,” you say.  Well, actually, yes it can be true.  If you’re not doing as well as you’d like to be doing, you are sabotaging yourself.There’s only one thing that can make your success:  you.  Without the blockage, every one of you is going to be successful. The reason you’re not as successful as you’d like to be, is because something is blocking you. That something is you.

So, what part of you is the only question we have to answer.  How are you blocking yourself?  Here are a few ideas; we’re certain you will think of more based on your personal experience.

1. You remain a victim. Victims can’t succeed. If they succeed, they can’t be a good victim. This is their way of getting attention. There’s always something wrong. “Feel sorry for me.” That way, nothing can be expected of them yet they get to enjoy the benefit of your pity, which then only reinforces the whole story.

2. If we don’t succeed, there aren’t a lot of expectations or responsibilities. I’ll put a spin on a decades-old Stan Lee comic book line: With great freedom comes great responsibility. If you want to be financially free, you gotta actually do what you say you’re going to do! You have to be accountable; to yourself and to others. What if we reallysucceed? How are we going to keep it up? Oh my god! That’s hard! What if people want things from you? When you decide that you are going to follow through on your commitments, and you do this consistently, that is the essence of spiritual maturity and a discipline for success.

3. Fatal attraction. People fear success so irrationally, they imagine bad things happening instead of focusing on the key term here: success! “I don’t have to worry about people robbing me.” Seriously? Like you’re so important now that the criminal underworld has you in its clutches? Please! “I don’t have to have my friends saying, ‘Who the hell do you think you are?’” Other people’s approval is all of a sudden more important than the quality of your mental, emotional, and financial life?

Your mind is telling you the conditions as to why you are not successful. It’s all bullshit. Nothing is more important than succeeding with what you’ve got going right now.

Figure out your payoff. It’s going to have to go deep and you’re going to have to be honest and come from your Higher Self asking your intuitive wisdom on this.

Whatever you find, please share your truth with us. You aren’t alone in this. It’s one of the most simple yet profoundly important discoveries you can make on your path toward success. We want to hear from you!
