I've noticed I've had swings of up and downs and I believe it comes from a fear of success. I can namely think of a few conflicting beliefs such as a smart friend of mine(no financially of course) who inherited close to a million and then blew it all the way till he couldn't afford his gas or electric bill and I had to lend him money to catch up. Or my dad who follows that slow lane and saved a million after 30+ yrs of work. or for some reason my distorted belief in my family friends who ARE successful and I thought they were snobbish and I didn't want to associate with them. I can't help but notice a pattern and the thoughts from my experience and how they impact me. Does anyone have any firsthand experience that's counter to what I've experienced and the impact that success brings?
