Success Begins Within

I had a friend who built his career on having been nominated for a major award. BIG award. But I noticed he was easily angered, and reactive, and fragile. A lot of boasting, a lot of certainty about things that frankly, have little objective reality. And I wondered why he was like this, why he literally STALKED me when I was discussing positive attitudes toward life, and work and life balance.

Anger is a mask over fear. Because he so easily slipped into anger, I wondered: with all of his success, what did he have to be so frightened of?
