''From The Peak Of The mountain To The Floor Of The Ocean In One Second''

We can go from being on top of the mountain and feeling great to the depths of the ocean and feeling like s**t in a split second. We can have 10 wins in a row. But when one small loss comes along. We get into despair. All the good things before it, are erased. And we just focus on that small loss. It becomes everything, and it consumes us.

But why is that? Why do we so obsess like this?

Because we are thought from a young age to not make mistakes. To do everything in our power not to fail. And that, puts a bind on us. And we don’t celebrate our wins as we should, or at all for that matter. And in the back of our minds is always the fear that we are impostors, and we don’t deserve the win. Or that the win will be short-lived, and we will face defeat sooner or later.

In other words… ‘’Once we get something, we are at the same time afraid we’re going to lose it.’’

No wonder we are so mixt up!

So, you see, this is the mechanism that holds us back from really enjoying our wins. From really celebrating life. And that is why most people live a mediocre life. And I mean mediocre in ‘’living’’, not having.

We hardly live because we are so afraid to fail!
