Thanks Rahman. I appreciate your positive feedback! I believe that's my toughest issue to break: other people's opinions and/or judgments of me. I need to not worry what others think of me, but it's ingrained so deep inside.

Marci, I think you've put it very beautifully yourself. The solution is to go forward and not look back. Don't worry about the outcome as one thing is for sure:

Nobody will judge the step you've taken. On the contrary, you break some ice that many are afraid to break. So, you're going ahead toward success as many have stopped behind the ice looking at those going forward – including YOU.

I hadn't realized it until reading this post about success, but I do fear my own success. I have a huge problem with anxiety and social phobia that keeps me from propelling myself into positive situations at work and personal life. I knew I've always shied away from situations that make me anxious but I've never admitted it was a fear keeping me from success. Wow, interesting.

And my kind of fear isn't one that's easy to overcome. I think I'll always have anxiety in life. So for me, learning how to deal with that anxiousness in situations is what I'm going to have to do to overcome my fears. I hope I can make the necessary steps to move forward.

Having the feeling of a successful person helps, but taking steps in life and business as a successful person makes yourself believe that as well. It takes your inner conviction that you are the one.

After all, it doesn't matter if former friends turn into jealous beings. Success is a phase of one's life when you can distinguish the true friends. Some love to see you a miserable person to feel mercy toward you. When you don't need merciful treatment anymore, they have nothing to offer anymore. So, they stop being your so-called friends.

Great post. I think conscious limits are essential. Without limits we leave ourselves too many choices. With too many choices, we typically have loose commitments. By mindfully placing positive limits on ourselves, we remove a lot of the conflict that arises from having numerous options available which more often that not results in indecision, inaction and confusion.
