[@kleom]

thanks❤️

[@sekhmetama3305]

You've just unlocked my blockage. I've been stuck for a long time, and just like that I'm free. Thank you awesome Teal, words can't express what you do for humanity. 🙏🏾💞

[@sunni3931]

My blockage has been unlocked today omg so freeing!

[@jomontanee]

I have legit fear of SUCCESS. I have inner feeling that if I am successful I feel I DONT “DESERVE” IT. The stupid, not good enough person like me don’t deserve to be recognized, admired and respected. Even the word make me shiver.

[@katriana_young]

That's still not fear of the actual success. It's rooted in poor self-concept and some unfortunate life experiences that told you that you have to "deserve" or earn praise, acknowledgement, love, or acceptance. That you specifically are not worthy of success, standing out, being in charge, being a leader, etc. I too had this wound for the longest...so I know you can also heal it. Just be aware that sometimes our healing happens in layers...so even when we feel like there's more to let go of, it's important to acknowledge what you've accomplished up until this point.

[@alex-ander-13]

Check out her 3 videos on deserving and the ones on guilt.

[@gordonbecker1456]

It's not the "success" that people are afraid of. It's the responsibility that comes with it and not feeling like they can live up to or handle that responsibility

[@belaytriks]

100% Agree.

[@DashtonSunflowerseed]

yulp

[@camez2345]

She just explained that in the video.

[@rhythmicelegance4670]

For some people it’s loss of privacy and the potential consequences that may arise from it.

[@patrickt49]

It's basically the fear of change. It's the lack of comfort that comes with adapting to new situations and the change that's needed to keep up with that.

[@johncox2912]

Damn good video. I am seriously looking at my own "fear of success." What I am seeing is it is not a fear of success but rather a fear of loss of connection. IE as a child I was told to be a certain way which was to be less than my potential. To fulfill that potential means fear of loss of approval of the very same people who don't want me to achieve my potential! I think just being able to SEE what's going on IS the solution. Or rather, the solution presents itself automatically once you can actually clearly and accurately SEE what is.

[@TellyTingz2000]

I was taught that too as a child especially the religion I was apart of to be less than my potential 😢 we are going to win in 2023 it’s all going to be awesome

[@domq9002]

We are never afraid of/want/angry about the thing we think we are afraid of/want/angry about. There's always a thing behind the thing. Therefore just as much we are not afraid of success, we are not afraid of failure but of the consequences that we THINK failure may entail. Similarly, we don't want success but the benefits that success entails, mostly confirmation that we are worthy.

[@nabilinho]

What people really fear is not success but failure and rejection which inevitably occurs along the way when you're truly committed to succeed. And this failure is what people fear because it re-emphasizes your unworthiness that you've been programmed to believe about yourself throughout your formative years. It triggers the most inflamed part of your ego. This is the real fear.

[@lanachild7731]

I think your theory relates more to relationships, new or being loved/accepted by others in our existing relationships. Success can be about achieving something that is not social in nature. Like a quantum or scientific discovery which has no connection to being rejected or accepted by others.

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

Boy did you hit the hammer on the nail!!! Fear of failure, fear of not making it, unconcious thoughts of not being good enough to deserve success....

[@Jess-yp9fo]

I've been saying " I fear success" for so long. I needed this video because now I understand it isn't success I fear. It's the things that come WITH it that I fear! The responsibilities. The lack of privacy (As someone who's dealt/deals with anxiety disorders, depression etc the thought of having my personal business out there like that completely terrifies me) yet at the some time it elates me. I get happy thinking about it. Then I get sad thinking about it too. Such a dilemma! I have so much to think & journal about. Thanks for the video Teal!

[@learningemail1249]

Teal just said what I was searching for a long time. Gratitude 🙏

[@trich4life]

Ikr!?! She does more for me than the shrink I pay. ❤️

[@poeticposturing3850]

Thank you for this. I have always felt that I'm not afraid of success, but rather, I am afraid of my success being taken away. When I was growing up, my mother did everything in her power to sabotage my joy. As a result, I have shied away from doing anything and everything that brings me joy. And what I do manage to do, I keep hidden. After many years of shadow work, I am finally free to be me.

[@healthiswealth77711]

Yes I agree

[@zaitunpeace]

And that’s why we’re told NEVER to solve the problem a client says they have, rather, dig deeper to determine the true issue and then solve for that! Thank you for reinforcing this Teal.

[@waterfall6042]

All those things about jealousy... Spot on. Everybodys reaction and attention. I need a new way of seeing.

[@saleneai6328]

It’s the repercussions and consequences of being successful that we are afraid of

[@lanachild7731]

Yes! Even after the Teal's solutions , it is very complicated and interwoven matter. Maybe Timing is important? If certain repercussions for our success are guaranteed in the present, then Maybe in the future, those repercussions won't be as painful.

[@lisetteramos6415]

I diminished myself for years in order to fulfill my family's expectations, repressing my feeling and desires and hiding behind I'm afraid of success and attention because I love the unseen bubble where I live, until I awoke, the inner work brought the real causes. This video resonate so much like if you did it feeling my energy field. So good and accurate in my experience. Thank you Teal. 💯❤️🌈🌟

[@b_b_b5146]

I've received this message just in time. I do believe in synchronicity. Thank you, Teal.

[@annikabirgittanordlander6887]

"There are a lot of things people may be afraid of or resistant to". Teal Swan. Who, what are Humans resisting and why and what is it that Humans need to feel able to release, resolve that resistance? I love to understand resistance so please Humans share what you all need, if you want to, thank you. Thank you Teal 🌎

[@lovisadreyer9653]

Perfect now during capricorn season/energy. I am in this position right now where I am not sure which steps to take towards my goal and I'm realising I have So. Much. Fear. Thank you for this inspirational video Teal!

[@user-gs1et6sx4k]

I am afraid that if I get more high paying job, my relatives will be very jealous of me and force me to always pay for their needs and I will feel guilty if I don't... it's scary and I don't know how to go about it. Maybe working more on my boundaries and saying no. Thank you, Teal ✨🌺

[@eternalquotes54]

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

[@calypsowhiteheart7807]

Amen to that.

[@halfcutehalfcreature]

EXACTLY what i needed right now!! go teal

[@stacielynn7929]

Just wow, the way you present such critical info, is so refreshing and spot on. No excuses for one not taking back control of their emotional well being , only the self defeating talk that has to be stopped for new pathways to form. Universal energy source is neutral we only perceive it good or bad, right or wrong! Break free or die tryin ❤️

[@aquarius911tarot6]

Message WELL received. Love and light 🕯️ !

[@Renee1073]

I am not where I want to be, but I am always where I need to be and I needed this. Thank you.

[@realistic.optimist]

Some are afraid of success. Some are afraid doing better than their parents.

[@JCTBomb]

Oh my God!!! Damn so true!

[@lizadeeza]

But they are only afraid of doing better than parents if they felt that would separate them from their parents. There are PLENTY of folks who want to do better than their parents because they want to help their parents financially.

[@Jess-yp9fo]

@@lizadeeza Then there are those who were raised by narcissists (ME) who want to help their parents AND are terrified of doing better due to all of the belittlement and downplaying they received in their child/teen years. Wanting to be separate from your parents AND wanting to help them is a thing....I hate it

[@BIBLE-a-s-m-r]

Me I’m fxxxd

[@michaelchase5304]

Teal, you contemplate some pretty deep stuff. It's so great when self-knowledge becomes exposed day after day.

[@dvvvdvvv]

The feeling when information like this calms something inside my nervous system, and that happens a lot with your videos. Thank you

[@chakraboosters]

Brilliant, Teal, thank you!

[@LovesToDrum1984]

Thank you so much for this. My feelings of being “afraid of success” has been explained in a way that I haven’t ever heard. This will help me in my journey so much.

[@JulyBay]

Just did the exercise and discovered that I am afraid of having to always “perform” to earn love. Having higher expectations and pressure put on me and the love I receive being contingent on my ability to keep up with the expectations. I fear pressure and letting other people down.

[@susansilvey1614]

I'm pretty sure, since my abusive parents told me I would not be successful...I inadvertantly sabatoged myself when success became near...self fulfilling prophesy

[@charlesgwynnethicasiano6719]

Thank you so much Teal! Lately Ive been stuck with unfinished songs even though Ive just sworn that I want to pursue my music career. Not only that made me feel stuck and unsatisfied with my songs, I don't get to clean my house fully. Basically, I have the fear of not finishing an album, or to simply put it, a task 🥲 I'm afraid that once I publish a song, I won't be able to make another.. and that's showing some early signs with what I have to tidy up in my own surroundings. So if I want to finish an album, I need to learn how to finish chores and other work, too (in my case, art commissions). 🙏🏻

[@afziashamsi]

This is exactly what I needed at the moment, Thankyou so much🙌🏻

[@TealSwanOfficial]

[@harmonijavosebe]

Teal, I’m Happy that you made again short videos. Short videos are more concise and informative than longer videos. When I see your long videos (which every video is super duper❤️)… But in short videos I don’t lose myself in too much informations. Greetings from Macedonia 🇲🇰. Like a 94’ soul from milenial generation, I try to learn so much from you and spread similar content in my Country 🇲🇰. Let’s spread the consciousness ❤️ Happy new year. 🎊

[@CherrysJubileeJoyfully]

Yes thank you. I have not been holding myself back but I have not admitted. no. I was not brave enough to be fully honest.

[@andrew5222]

fear of rejection, fear of ridicule, fear of discovering my own limitations and popping the bubble of the potential of what i think i could be

[@itsmylife8164]

Yes. Fear of losing something I have nothing to loose

[@SolversSocietyHQ]

Good 👍 So my opposition to success is not a cop-out🤙

[@wgdetective7034]

I would think that's obvious... Success requires hard work, striving, and responsibility... No one says that they are afraid of the feeling of completing a goal/succeeding; they are afraid of the hard work and obstacles that they will inevitably encounter on the way to success, and the challenges they will face to maintain that same level of success. This is so obvious I can't believe a video is necessary to explain it. It's a fear of failure

[@youtubeuser6725]

Man that exercise at the end of the video is such an amazing awareness exercise!! Resiatnace immediately came up when I imagined getting what I want and I was able to write the resistance down in detail and I'm gonna work on it! Thank you so much teal 🥰

[@pickupwisdom86]

This video is so helpful! Yes those are very important errors to split! Thank you Teal!

[@amyweeks3657]

thank you for this so early today 🎁

[@joycegifford8826]

“Being detached from the outcomes of your actions is very freeing.” Brodie Sanders

[@alex-ander-13]

I see your point, but detachment is a coping mechanism - a commitement to non-commitment - irresponsibility. Non-attachment is the way.

[@hillsburghsangel]

Fear of success is real, though it’s an umbrella term and you have to assess the reasons behind your fear of success. It’s often because it means change, and the subconscious fears change. Because it means it no longer belongs to the tribe it’s familiar with. If you look at your perceived tribe, it can give you a lot of insights into your success and failures.

[@maissakaizen1714]

More of fear of success videos plz teal can u dig deep and how to overcome it completely

[@spiralcat6376]

It's the last one for me. I knew it the moment I heard you say it. It's like it's never enough and I feel like the less I do the better off I am because the less I do the less that is expected of me. I don't like people expecting things of me because eventually I will disappoint them

[@monicavallero]

Right, it's never about fearing success but what it comes with it, and most of the times it's unconscious. Many people sabotage themselves, procrastinate etc because they are subconsciously afraid of the consequences. Thank you for sharing!

[@ChaoticLeftistW]

This couldn’t have come at a better time ! I’ve been wanting to get involved politically - and work in politics. But most politicians are seen as Celebes these days, scared of that public perception of who I am. 💙

[@johnmargaras]

I listened very closely to the Tree example and I completely agree with the point of the video.To me -as I now think and feel of it- is that in the end, the presence or absence of a "snake" under a "tree" is entirely subjective and irrelevant.This is because in a time and in a place as with all things one has gone through "snakes" under "trees" and Choses (choice is very important) to either ignore them, put them under the rag, kill the "snake" or even disregard their "being" altogether.The Real question to me is whether these "snakes" are considered parts of opportunity for Growth or Not, and even further how can we even accept and furthermore Transmute (important word and concept) the lessons that are hidden behind or even Create our own lessons If and When necessary.Interpretation is all that is needed but that is an upper level of Awareness which is an upper level of something else etc etc.Love your videos, keep up!

[@AustinRoberts88]

I'm so happy you exist, you make such a huge impact in people's lives. Even though people may try to put you down, what you speak is true and that can't change regardless of people's opinions

[@madhuria9956]

Thank you so much, Teal!

[@831822eh]

That was honestly pretty incredible to hear. I’ve been trying to word these feelings for months now, you worded it so perfectly

[@Wstarlights]

Great! Ty Teal, Merry Christmas 🎅🎄

[@nate411]

One of the most helpful videos this year. I was at the online workshop when this topic came out but after watching this video I was able to write down everything that made me feel stuck and I feel that there're now quite resolved within me.

[@djfwildcatz]

I used to think I fear success. But after watching this, I realize it's not that I fear success. I would relish in the benefits of success but I also fear more of the possible negative effects that success could bring.

[@keerthanavelmurugan8371]

The timing is impeccable yet again! Thank you Teal! I genuinely appreciate this message! I had just done a parts work session 2 days before you posted this video about the resistance standing in the way of success. And found that my inner parts were afraid of being alone on top. Without connection. And success will be a lonely journey. And I had to redefine success to include connection. Because for me success is also connection and purpose in union, and harmony with each other. Complementing each other. 😍❤️☀️🌻 So hope this helps anyone who is currently trying to work on redefining their relationship with themselves and success. All the best 😍❤️☀️🌻 Love ❤️🌹☀️🌻

[@astridzaldivar1997]

I’m reading “Inner Work” and this video reinforces all the suggested exercises mentioned in the book. Thank you Teal. You are spot on 😊

[@BIBLE-a-s-m-r]

Yes…. There is. I feel like I can’t provide myself the thing I want, but it’s not true

[@Tara-cs2ts]

This is so insightful and explains so much about my own experience.

[@alex-ander-13]

Thank you Teal!

Hi Teal! Could you PLEASE do an episode on what causes binge/compulsive eating disorder? I have been struggling with it for most of my life and nothing helps...

Thank you Teal! Great timing

I’m so grateful for this video

[@saracole4411]

🥲🌿🦋confusing and clear narrow exspressions.

[@katharineanonymous6992]

Haven’t watched yet but I just wanna say Success comes with a lot of pressure so :/

[@trich4life]

Love you Teal

[@tabithastitt]

Thank you so much! This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear and understand. There must be something ‘negative’ from my past that I have subconsciously associated with success. Now I shall meditate to find out. ☕️💕🫶

[@TheMafiaFire]

Thanks, needed this; I invented a couple things over a year ago, been too concerned about it's use cases and started a fire of self doubt and self-sabotage. Impostor syndrome has gone wild.

[@loulourose7364]

Thank you Teal 🙏❤ Getting your perspective on these tricky questions is always life-changing.

[@SwanRose369]

I'm so so so grateful for you

[@donjuan3296]

Yea, I always found that phrase odd. The fear is of failure. You don't try to succeed, you don't try, because of fear of failure.

[@ulrikschackmeyer848]

I've had thoughts along those lines for years, but I've never seen it expressed so clearly. And even with a test! I might even take it..if I wasn't so afraid of succeeding😂😂😂. Tears, sorrow and slight confusion, feeling caught inside this circular argument. Dear Teal, do you have fix for that too? Please.

[@johncox2912]

Being able to see clearly IS the way out.

[@mireyabailey1369]

Thank you Teal. Helpful as always!

[@darthfiende1]

I'm finding that I'm deeply afraid of becoming dependent on something or someone only to have it withdrawn because I'm unworthy. Success for me would be full-time homemaking, but I'm afraid of the vulnerable position I would be in and how I might have to be less authentic to pretend I have any control over how worthy my husband finds me to be of his provision.

[@lanachild7731]

It's very sad that many women can't be stay at home moms or homemakers because our Whole Society isn't supportive of it. You most likely scared of how difficult it would get to be in a Society that is resentful to ideas of homemaking/house wife/working at home.

[@lanachild7731]

Your first step to be successful at home stay is to find supportive environment of people who actually value your lifestyle not try to convince you out of it.

[@Phoenixsunart]

Perfect! Thank you Teal

[@NightinGal89]

So accurate. Also, love Teal's make-up

Looking forward to your 2023 perfections Teal!

[@KELSEYYYYY]

Seems like for some people success was associated with loss at some point in their life. Probably childhood. Parents are jealous of their kids sometimes.

[@HeatherLandex]

Yep. All those fears...

[@jimmy-stevenbiemans1486]

If someone has a fear of success, and success is defined as achieving what you want, they must be trembling each time they are going out for a cup of tea and manage to get a cup of tea 🍵😖😂

[@lanachild7731]

Interesting though. When I was younger I suffered extremely anxiety and had constant panic attacks doing every day "normal" things...then I started to drink every day to just get through the every day activities....I think with these "comments sections" we ALL can contribute some good thoughts and we can Finally "connect the dots" in our personal Journeys.

[@lizstokes9091]

My underlying fear was loss of connection. The pandemic showed me that none of them gave a sh!t about me anyway, so that fear was utterly pointless LOL

Wondeful video I was thinking the same thing this week why I am fear success and why so much negative thoughts toward it

[@kimreneestarot3741]

Thank you teal I love you. And I watched the horrible series and I still love you lol. Of course. At this point I am surprised you are not laughing your ass off every time you deliver one of these videos. I know I would be with the knowledge that I have. And with the knowledge that you have and you're not doing this, is a miracle. I love that you smile and smirk at the very obvious. I'm so grateful for your videos. I'm finally in a position where soon I will be able to show you that gratitude financially. But your offer of free content over these decades has got me through divorces and spiritual conundrums and everything in between. Thank you I love you dearly

Thank you!

[@pada5992]

I believe in a healthy society we would in many more places support people on their way and they would have role models not in the media but sitting next to them, being present and supportive, offering advice about things a beginner cannot anticipate, helping them develop into who they are becoming. The fear today is often about pioneering, being left out, having to have new skillsets that nobody prepares you for, having nobody to help you when new level problems come etc. Being left out and critisized instead of supported. We need to support each other and look for support and accept support wherever it is possible and needed. We need successful, healthy, confident, kind people, with a supporting network There are in reality only few things that we need really adventurous pioneers for and these kind of people are born and will do that part with joy and excitement. But 99% of "success" is too hard and lonely and adventurous nowadays, while we have to play by all kinds of complicated rules outside of ourselves.

[@randy5829]

[@dreamwalker3707]

I have been a true blessing for me as I am seeing the truth about the why, how, and what I have been created to do and be in my present lifetime and I am very grateful that I have been guided to you and your insights and wisdom you have given me in my journey and I find it interesting that I first came across you was many years ago and I think you were part of a project named avalon or something like that... I remember that you really impressed me with your wisdom and the way that you explained what you were doing and how we have to be open to get the best possible way for us and the way we are the factor that is the only limit we have to choose to release it to receive the better things that we have been blocking from our lives.

[@libbylepage2323]

0:54 sorry only got this far before needing to say that I fear success! I fear success a lot. But I also am aware of the negative consequences that I have received from having any kind of success in the past and I can understand how this would create such a fear! So yeah. It’s real. It’s very real

[@swansonganimalcommunicatio4207]

Teal please, please do a video on the menopause. Its a huge issue that has repercussions for every woman and often men. We don't have the support to understand and deal with it, all we have is the inconsistant veiws and opinions of others. I feel the big M effects us not only just on a physical level but effects our woman hood too. Men respond differently as does society. Please release a video on this as it will provide, safety, self acceptance and Queenhood in woman. Also give us the power to essentially be our selves where ever we are in life. I hope you see this as I know many comments go un-noticed. But fingers crossed you do as always give your valuable insight that will benefit us all. Much love from the UK, Miss Stevie Watson 💗💗💗💗
