You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead???*

[@diananurtlessova9388]

The good point

[@Smash_knits]

🤯

[@drz616]

Because it's way easier to watch a show than to do things in life, this comparison ain't it.

[@nekoedge8498]

I wanna watch Netflix now instead of self work videos

[@emberflash1641]

Great point. Even if financially it doesn't get insanely better, creatively I've pushed myself and grown so much, the aspect of money has been less worrying. There are always jobs to be taken. But there's not always inspiration so I'm learning to really take advantage of it when inspiration does strike.

[@BenThatOneGuy]

When i was younger, i was in what i thought was a pretty serious relationship. I was in college, burned out, broke, and taking a semester off. in reality, i was probably on my way to permanently dropping out of school. During this time, I found out that my partner was cheating on me with one of my other close friends, and we broke up once this came to light. I asked the usual questions of "Why do you want someone else" and the answer i got was a shallow... basically "i think the other guy is going to be more successful than you" That fucking devastated me... because that's not how i saw myself at all. I felt like i was just collecting myself to try again, or try something different.. and then i got hyper-motivated in the worst way. I basically went into "i'll show her what she's missing out on" mode... and finished college. Twice. With honors... I'm finally doing the work that i think is important, im finally realizing goals i've had for a long time. I even did it with only a tiny amount of debt that i paid off in the first year out of school. I rode that Revenge Success train to the bank until the thought of revenge "winning" just wore off and became meaningless... and i began realizing that i could have done the same thing thinking about my own interests, rather than some other person's opinion, and i could have done it with much less anger and spite. I'm where i am today because of years of unhealthy motivation... but it also gave me the resources and space i needed to work on the healthier me now. I don't recommend it... but "Fuck you" can be one powerful motivator.

[@seabreeze4559]

you dodged a bullet dude, the trash took itself out

[@seabreeze4559]

this reminds me of adults trying to spite their childhood bullies, at some point you need to give yourself permission to let go and set your own standards, letting go isn't letting them off the hook, it's letting yourself off the hook for feeling guilty about what they did to you

[@sarah3602]

Did she ever try to get you back?

[@BenThatOneGuy]

@@sarah3602 Not surprisingly, she went through a very dark period in her life. When you associate with people that hold that kind of view, that's kind of to be expected. What is surprising though is that we actually are on good terms again. We re-connected recently, both very different people, and have become the closest of friends. She called me one night out of the blue about 5 years ago needing someone (really anyone...) to talk to. I really didn't care, but i knew if she didn't leave there she'd probably be dead in a month. I ended up driving across the country, picked her up with a single suitcase, and dropped her off back in her hometown at her mom's to start over. Over 2 days of driving we let it all out. Just straight venting about all the pain we each carried. With each other, with anything, just uncorked the bottle of emotions and poured it out, past and present. We talk almost every day now, and are both becoming the people we wanted to be. Once the gloves came off while we shouted and cried on the drive to her mom's place, and we hashed out our beef along the way... the raw unfiltered honesty stayed with our new friendship, and is why we're close once again. It took almost 10 years to get here, and im glad with how things ended up. Nobody understands why I'd ever talk to her again, but that's OK. They have no idea how either of us have changed or how great it is to have someone that knows all your dirty laundry... and i don't really need them to understand either. So in the end it's a melancholicly happy story, but it took a lot to get there. :)

[@ingridelknermusic]

Anger is useful. It is energy. It creates change. Sorrow just buries us, turns us to sludge. It's not good to live in anger, but if the anger is there and you can harness it like a bucking horse to ride to a destination - any destination better than where you're trapped - do it. I think if we surveyed people on their true motivations behind everything they do, seldom would you find a person with pure intentions.

[@josequins9099]

I've watched a number of "fear of success" videos because I know that fear is why I procrastinate, but this one hits different. I relate so much to a couple of your points. You have identified exactly where my particular flavour of fear is originating. Now that I know where the problems lay I can address them. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us, struthless. You're definitely helping people.

It came from your heart. Kudos! Also, you are to enjoy the power of "Now"; before you do more self critique. Every day is a new day and it is certainly different. Therefore, get back to the people who "You" matter to. Be it one person, get in touch and you'd find more success due to the resonating energies. This is called constructive interference. Thanks.

[@julyol119]

Dr. K (Healty Gamer GG) often asks people, who he interviewes if there was a time when they didn't yet have the problem they're struggling with. And very often when they remember that, they are able to identify key happenings in their life's that caused them to have a specific mindset. I found this profoundly helpful for my own wellbeing, because it helps so well to separate adult me from helpless-child or helpless-young-person me.

You had me at "I'll move to Guatemala, start a permaculture farm, just live off the land, and chill." Relatable.

[@thewisecritique8079]

Great video as usual. However, in my case my fear of success is more of a "Can I actually handle it?" when it happens and can I keep up with the expectations of the people who actually made me be in that place - fans, clients, viewers. With that stress and when you add a sprinkle of imposter syndrome the cocktail that is created doesn't taste nice and subconsciously I self sabotage myself.

[@kalilavalezina]

Same here. I hope you can find your way through.

[@yaaessieapeadu]

Yesss! I feel the same way! What I've realized, though is that humans can easily adapt to things, because I've been able to do things in the past that didn't seem possible for me to handle, but I was able to pull through anyway! We are probably much stronger and more capable than we think! So I'm starting not to worry too much about the future, because, who knows, I might have gathered enough experience and expertise to successfully handle anything that I may face at that point in the future! I wish you the best!

[@kekekhai]

I’m about to graduate after a long battle of financial and mental crisis, the fact I’m about graduate is considered a success and an image that I am not familiar with myself, I always thought I won’t make it till the end. Seeing this video is such a good timing, especially facing my final exams :) Always loved your videos, always reminding me to take it one step at a time and look at things differently. Thanks, Campbell! EDIT: I finished my studies and I’m all set for my graduation! Even decided to opt for the ceremony as a testament and celebration that I pulled through. 😭 this was something I initially thought I didn’t deserve to go for.

When you spoke about how as soon as you kill the desire to desperately have something, that is when you can actually have that thing, it reminds me of the NZ men's rowing team who recently won gold at the Olympics, they cited pretty much the same thing as one of the major reasons they were able to win the gold medal.

[@oooooooooooooooooooooooor]

8:10 As a perfectionist, I really agree with this, as long as you focus on just trying to convey what you mean, it really works wonders, correcting yourself for every minute mistake you make is just gonna leave you stressed and not have the motivation to make the video anymore.

[@sandral8318]

Hey, I am not sure if you will see this but I've been watching your videos for a few months. I was in huge denial about how depressed and anxious I really was. Your videos, what you're about etc encouraged me to seek professional help for my mental health. I started antidepressants today so I'm excited for this journey. Your tips did help me gain some control of my life back but I definitely need the extra support of professionals. Thanks so much

[@stigidystacks3747]

I’ve had a dream to become a famous rapper/musician since something like 5 years back. I always thought it was my destiny. Sadly this dream has brought me a ton of pain and misery. I had a passion and was definitely interested in rap music which is here I started. But over the years I got more and more hungry for that “shallow success” (fame, power, money) and I thereby lost my original interest. I have thereby felt very miserable whenever I do bad music or no music at all. I’ve been treated badly by some people and my dream always were a way of me to say “f*ck you” to their faces and get the appreciation and approval I wanted. This has become very unhealthy for me over the years. Like I said I’ve been feeling very miserable:( I still don’t know exactly what to do. I’ve considered a “normal life” a failure since those people won’t be impressed by me. I know subconsciously that fame and power isn’t gonna make me feel any better in the long run. Ive even imagine getting all that and the just live a peaceful life and “learn my lesson” or whatever. I think if I’m gonna continue to do music it won’t be all for the shallow success. It has stripped me of all my creativity and happiness. I just made an album and yes, there were times where I had fun making the music and stuff, BUT the fear of making bad music controlled the entire project and I therefore always feared rapping bad to the point where I didn’t even wanna rap, since I was afraid of it turning out bad. The conflict in my head says something like: “Do what makes you happy and only do music whenever you feel like it” “but at the same time I know that success won’t come without a fair bit of grinding, and grinding isn’t always fun. I’ve been very unsure if I want to pursue this music career or not, since it has brought me all that misery. But at the same time the thought of making it feels like heaven and my revenge. What to do…

[@STICKYArt]

I go through waves of this… I realized it’s a lot of my own definitions of success that define my happiness. Sometimes overlooking small success keeps from reaching big success later. I also have been always told people learn a lot more from failing than from success. Accepting failure is not easy but needed for success

[@ShuriBear]

I REALLY resonate with the "Remove the need to be successful". For example, with my KZbin channel I first made videos and I always thought it had to be perfect for all the wrong reasons (i.e. Success). Which stressed me out so much... But now I make videos that make me proud (and nothing else) and I enjoy it so much more, get more done, and I feel more fulfilled. Ofc they are not super successful, but at least I made a video I can say I am proud of and nobody can take that away from me.

[@Light-oz5pv]

I felt it when you said that “it protects your identity” I’m in therapy and my therapist is helping unpack this so deeply that I’m glad I decided to get help. Your videos are always a delight. Thanks for sharing!

[@Alan_Duval]

The journalling exercise at the end: 1. What do I define as Shallow Success? 2. What do I define as Deep Success? 3. Why do I want Shallow Success? 4. What would Shallow Success mean for my life? 5. What are the negative repercussions of Shallow Success? 6. Why am I scared of them? 7. What would happen if they came true? 8. What do I fear most about Success? 9. How does this relate to my relationship to Deep Success? 10. How Can I heal?

[@optimistic_cynic]

Damn dude, you hit points in more ways than I could when arguing with my parents about the emerging toxicity of highly-competitive environments I was thrust into and had no choice but to adapt. In a way, my lingering hatred for the situations I was forced to be in and endure fed into my fear of success, that the people I should have support from would suddenly put more unrealistic expectations upon me and that I'd lose my sense of self and drive the more I see achieving something "as a means to an end" rather than something I would unabashedly "live the moment" (basically, the whole being vs living dichotomy). Innumerable thanks, friend, for bringing this out.

Not liking people who have success is part of the basics for being French. It's a part of me that I don't like, but I can't help it - especially since when I was in college, I built my social identity around failing (at the very least, not doing my best) in order to hang with the cool guys.

[@allygalaxy7163]

I tried explaining my “fear of success” to my therapist and she was so confused. “Don’t you mean fear of failure?” She asked. And I just couldn’t provide a reason that made sense to her. You have eloquently articulated what has been rustling around in my brain for years. Thank you 🥰

[@naomistarlight6178]

This is a great video! People with autism and PTSD like me tend to think poorly of themselves, one problem I've always had is thinking "I do not deserve happiness". Because I had a rough childhood. Because I was always sacrificing what I wanted in life for my family whenever there wasn't enough for us all to get what we wanted. I'd rather see my mother or younger siblings happy than get what I want. Now I'm in my early 30s and I'm just sick of taking care of everyone else and never asking about when it's my turn? When do I get to like... want stuff? For myself? I have to basically train myself to think it's OK to go after stuff I want. Being socialized as a girl is also a factor. If you know, you know.

I just preordered your book here in Canada. Such a big fan of these videos, I always feel strangely lighter after watching one. I am working on a graphic novel and I swear battling through my own mental resistance is as much if not more work than actually just doing the drawing/writing itself. Part of me doesn’t even care if it’s good, it just needs to be done, the other part of me will accept nothing less than exactly what I have created in my mind, which is an impossible target to reach since it’s always moving and changing on me. Thanks again for the great content, can’t wait to read your book. PS. I think the fact you are struggling with these things makes you MORE qualified to write about them, not less.

In Australia, if you're happy that you've made progress and you tell certain people, even in a humble way, they think you're bragging.... (or I could be just hanging with the wrong crowd). I really struggle with not caring what people think, while trying not to become someone who becomes disassociated with emotion...

I love seeing you blow up. You rock, and help me so much. thank you for everything you do.

[@jurgen3575]

Mate you are an absolute legend, I love your videos and eventhough I still don't feel great, you are helping :-)

[@Kate-pw2ju]

The protecting your identity part and the worried that you won't get sympathy I've heard before and is so spot on! I have had this since childhood. Thank you for reiterating this for me. I believe that getting rescued has been a mind set as an adult that I thought would help me, it has not and I'm working my way through this now. Loving your vids and animations, just found you now and I'm binging, thank you for providing this free info, putting yourself out there and making it so relatable that people may not have found with self help before and thank you for swearing, it makes me relate to you even more 😊

[@rache-sqh]

Gawd I appreciate your video's so much -- thanks for pushing that relaxed energy our way

[@sonaffe2248]

I love you dude hahah you are incredible when it comes to putting thoughts into words. You really be helping a lot of people with what you do, your videos are always a little highlight in my day, thank you!

[@emberflash1641]

Damn the relaxed energy is EVERYTHING. Anxiety can be stifling to success. I'm still waiting for my preordered book to come in and I'm so stoked!! Your videos are always a blast and a source of inspiration. Even if u feel you don't deserve it sometimes, that's chill, imposter syndrome is a hard thing to shake. Thx for making the process a little easier!

I LOVE your videos, man. They're undoubtedly truthful and so helpful than I've ever imagined. I'm so proud of your success and I can only wish that more folks find your content, because it will change them forever. More power to you!! 🤗 ALSO-I am loving this natural lighting set up you've got going on!!!!

[@lindakunz1430]

this is one of the best / most helpful KZbin videos I ever watched. Thank you !!

[@Lobstrique]

i feel so blessed every time you post a video. i quit my office job in September and have been thinking of doing art for a living but the fear that people won't like it is crippling. and here your are with this video! really like the plan b strategy. I've been most relaxed when i thought hey, i can always go back to my old job if it doesn't work out, i live my colleagues and the job was fine. but i tried to scare off these thoughts cause it felt like I was giving up before even starting?

[@Angell_Lee]

Congratulations on your book, you rock!!

[@sophiiniko]

Fantastic video that hit the nail on the head for me. That made it that bit extra great was your dog sleeping in frame the whole time

[@SM-zw3on]

I just thought about my fear of success yesterday, cause it was becoming evident in my recent life events. All these nonsense thought of mine is what is still holding me. Now I got a video of you explaining everything I wanted to hear. Thank you so much. Really loved the video.

[@ashleymichelle0713]

loved your videos so much! it’s like self help for everyone and make it entertaining :) just bought your book off amazon and very excited to check it out

[@DanielaGlassop]

Congrats on your success! 👏🏻Lots of great points I can relate to. I love your well behaved dog too.

[@EisaYZ]

Man I feel everything you said in this video to the bones. Thank you for making it. I’m Stuck in my head again

[@Goddessattractor]

You are so wildly relatable! I love the way you simplify and box up concepts and ideas ☺️ somehow you take the angst and complexity and soften it making it palatable. NICE!🙏

[@stefsummerrain4514]

Man, I love these colours

[@mattrewhit]

Thank you for creating this video and all the rest of ur content. It’s helped me a lot ❤️

[@dimitriospapageorgiou]

Hi Campbell. This is one of the most concise and well-made vids on the topic. Too many of us are stuck and have no idea why. Now we know what's going on and how to deal with it. Keep being awesome!

[@carissabelik9120]

This is EXACTLY what I needed right now. Thank you!

[@twelvepawsfilm1229]

I didn't quite realize that this was one of my big problems- plus I find it interesting how I found this the day you posted it which also happens to be my birthday, so thanks for the gift! Also looking forward to reading your book soon. I really appreciate all the work you put into what you do, it's all really interesting and deserves all the success it gets.

[@mashenka8766]

Happy birthday ((((:

[@CourtneyVictoria]

This was recommended to me this morning and I'm glad I watched it. I'm VERY aware that I am blocking becoming successful in my photography career. This has made me realise I need to figure out what exactly it is in my head and work past it. This video is very helpful, I think I may watch it a few times to drill some of these points into my head.

[@emanuela36]

This video is clever on so many levels. Each point you make has many social/psychological explanations behind ready to dig. I can tell that self awareness must hurt, thank you for your work :)

[@user-mw5lk1dz9p]

Your videos are so helpful and genuine. I really think they would be amazing to show to high school children to educate them about mental heath! You have a demeanour and personality that allows you to deliver this information in such an easy and cool way, you’d totally get through to kids!
