“Fear of the Summit”
“Sometimes we don’t destroy what we built because we failed — we destroy it because we’re afraid we might actually deserve it.”
People often sabotage their own success not because they lack ability, but because success can feel unfamiliar, exposing, or undeserved. When achievement challenges someone’s identity, comfort zone, or fear of judgment, self-destruction can feel safer than growth.
