Why do I wake up at 4:30 AM?

A while back, I was writing how I became a morning person. Since then, my morning schedule has changed a lot, and now my alarm is ringing at 4:30 in the morning. When they find out, most of the people (all of them actually), always ask me “Why do you wake up at such an hour?”.

Fear of failure. Fear of success.

Failure. Success. Fear of failure; fear of success. Somehow failure and success are interconnected like two sides of a coin, you can have heads or tails, but you can’t have them both. If you succeed, you didn’t fail, and the other way around.

After long introspection I’ve realized that I’m afraid of both. Strange isn’t it? And this fear is holding me back,  blocking my path to, do you feel the irony, success. Fear of success it’s blocking my access to success. (more…)
