Well, what I fear of success is piled on expectations and responsibilities. Let's say I get popular somehow by writing what I'm writing about. Well, now people are expecting me to write and deliver something better than last time...all the time. That's a ton of pressure when I judge it that way.

I felt the same with music when I started making some small waves in that field.

So for some reason, I view success as a state of pressure and endless tasks that get harder the further I go. At least that is how the fearful side of me sees it.

If I were to define success without fear painting the picture, it would just be fulfillment. So long as I'm finding time to do something fulfilling every day, then I'm successful.

So I have drastically different views of what success is when I look with fear, and without fear.

Hmm, I didn't expect to unpack all that.
