Let' say that we had high ambition, but somewhere in our psyche we also had a deep-seated fear that if we succeeded something bad would happen. Many people have the impression that good things come with a price tag, and if they succeed in something important, there will be a counter impact that will cause them trouble or less. When things are good, some people become a little nervous. A friend of mine would say in these types of situations, "It's so good ya can't stand it".

This person lives in a world with its own rules, one of which is don't be too successful or you'll get it in the neck.




最近在看一本 JT 介紹的書:「Your Life as Art」,在一篇章節名稱為「The Orientation: Where You Live」裡,有上述這段話。這講到一個很奇妙的大眾心理,就是你想要什麼就得拿什麼來換,這或許是延自於「要怎麼收穫就要怎麼栽」與「天下沒有白吃的午餐」。但是這兩句話並沒有不對,最可怕的是有些人竟然會產生成功恐懼症,以為成功終將帶來可怕的回報。而這樣的情緒非常有可能早就潛藏在心中,所以難怪很多人總是近情又情怯,愛吃又假仙。所謂被發卡的「好人」情節應該是最嚴重的一種,XD。

這樣的心理障礙就是會影響第一步跨出去的主因,另外也會顧忌到別人的觀點,而有卻步不前。用個更白話的講法來說,就是會自己告訴自己:「我不值得擁有成功」。真是矛盾的心態,不是嗎?成功不就是用努力換來的,難道用心盡力去爭取,真的不值得擁有成功嗎?一定要跪求才有嗎?或者說一定要有怎麼的「身份」才配?簡單的直線距離,人們卻有辦法用曲線迂迴的心理來闡釋,真是太自欺又欺人了。

很多人都不會承認自己有這樣的想法吧!我也是。還好有看到 Robert Fritz & JT 講到,趕快寫下來提醒自己。
