Self-Sabotage

One of my biggest problems when I left college was that I seemed to be getting in my own way. Deep down, I knew that I was meant to do great creative things, but by the end of each day, I had convinced myself that it wasn't worth starting. After two years of nearly no productivity, I knew that I had to find a way to stop my Self Sabotage.

We have a tendency as humans to act on our fear. Back when we had to run away from predators during our development of a species, this was a great trait. Nowadays, when the dangers are much more internal and metaphysical, sometimes we run away from the things we should be running toward. The biggest and scariest challenges are actually worth attacking if you want to be a major success.

The main point here is that when something scares you, it is usually the right path to take. Genetics or no genetics :).
