In my experience of working intimately with my natural Drive
I had to be willing to accept, feel, explore and overcome deep penetrating feelings of failure, rejection, negativity, criticism, and bone rattling Fear.
It took a long time to realize that being successful meant being ok with both the positive and negative feelings that are inevitable in the journey of high achievement.
It never made sense to me that if I had come so far out of the environment I was born into, that… I would not only feel proud of myself but also be challenged in my deepest fears.
But such was the case!
