You are either very succcessful already or you have the potential to be so. There is no holding you back. You are confident, positive, self-assured with everything going for you. A natural winner.  61-74: HIGH PERFORMER and successful at what you tend to do. However, there are some fear and rough edges to clear from your own consciousness before you can propel yourself into the super league of success. Look at the areas you scored the least on and see how those could be improved. You can make it all the way to the top, if you really believe it and accept the opportunities and challenges which come to you. Make use of those talents. 45-60: SUCCESSFUL with strings - an UNDERACHIEVER. This is a category of indecision and perceived 'failure'. People in this category are successful already to some extent - or have the potential to be. They yearn for greater achievement but are afraid because of their negativity, limiting beliefs and fear of new challenges. They believe further success is not deserved. They are not worthy. So they stay put, dream a lot, worry a lot, envy a lot, but don't do enough to lift them on to the next level. Their sense of inadequacy and unimportance suffocates their desires. There is some work to do on your innner thoughts, choices and behaviours before you can begin to do justice to those talents you have been blessed with. 27-44: FEARFUL UNDERACHIEVER. People in this category are burdened with both the perception of being unsuccessful as well as the nagging desire to reach that elusive goal. And the two are often incompatible to them because they lack the courage, commitment and determination to win themselves the prize they seek. Yet they have great talent and ability, especially in crisis times when they have no option but to show their capabilities. Normally, they either opt out through fear and unbelief or they put others down to show how 'good' they are too, yet never quite convincing anyone of this on a routine level. Some important work on yourself is urgently needed here to be able to see the enormous potential you have to get what you want. The blame has to stop now and the hard work begins. It's all in YOUR hands. 13-26: You have been (or will be) a HIGH UNDERACHIEVER in your life, and won't reach your destination, because of your own negative fears. You are afraid of certain challenges and have poor self-perception because of the prison of fear you have erected around you. However, there is much to your life that is wonderful, lots you have already achieved, especially if you have children and have got yourself to where you are now. Those are real successes. Just a pity you do not appreciate them or see them in that way. You can build on those achievements to push you even further towards your dreams. Lots of work to do on your self-esteem, confidence and self-belief, if you are not to remain resentful and frustrated. Don't expect change overnight but value the little positives steps of change you will make if you are determined to change your thoughts and approach. 0-12: You are (or will be) a CHRONIC UNDERACHIEVER. Only you can lift yourself from this rock-bottom position. You have needless fears which hold you in a grip of inaction and paralysis from which you feel you cannot escape and from where the blame flows freely. You are a magnificent, unique resilient human being, capable of miraculous feats. I can say it for you, but unless you truly believe it, you will stay in this emotional rut of negativity, putting limiting labels on yourself and underachieving for a long time to come. As they say, the only difference between a rut and a grave, is 6 feet! We are either 'busy living' or 'busy dying'. Which one is it for you? At this low level, your answer to that question could change your life. LEVEL OF FEAR QUIZ Just how much do YOU fear? Survival far which directs our instincts is fine. Fear is a paralysing emotion which stops us in our tracks. If we are fearful, we can't act, and so it is the biggest obstacle we have to personal progress and achievement . Negative feelings make us feel demotivated, insignificant and unwanted. They affect our perception of what we can DO and achieve, how much we are valued. Positive feelings of self worth make us reach for the skies. QUIZ: How much do you fear just now? Find out here. For each statement, select a reply that DEFINITELY applies to you. I do fear FAILURE.

They are not as you expect? Why not SUBSCRIBE to our services and get some personal answers? SCORING 0-10: You are obviously fearless - perhaps not even fearing death, which is unusual. You believe in yourself and you believe in life, which is a powerful combination for making the most of what you have been given. You are a natural winner in many ways, especially in the quality of your life, because you are likely to be very confident and contented. 11-22: Not much bothers or scares you. You are the type who, though you might be vulnerable in a crisis, takes life as it comes. You don't worry about the past or future and your expectations are realistic, which helps you to deal with the knocks when they come. However, you need to trust yourself more to get rid of any unnecessary anxiety. 23-36: You are largely confident but because you are likely to lack self-esteem there is always a conflict going on in your head which brings out your worst fears more often than not. You need to be less ambiguous in your approach, believe in yourself a little more, and stop worrying about the future. You cannot change anything in it because you might only have today. If you could be less controlling of your life and just let go, you would be surprised at the improved quality and new opportunities. 37-52: You have a lot of fears because you have too many rigid expectations of others which need to change. You also seek their approval and when it does not come as expected, you get even more fearful of life and its possibilities. Fear robs you of a life. You have a lot going for you so there is no need to be fearful of living. Let go off some things like the past, forgive a little more and trust your instincts. It's usually right. 53-64: You have too many fears because of your painful experiences and your low self-esteem. You seem to go round expecting the worst to happen and of course it does, just as you predicted it. People also find you tiresome to be with which is likely to reinforce your fears about being alone. However, you only ever get what you think and if you go round fearing your age, fearing being hurt and even fearing love, what kind of life is that? Life is what we make it. And how are you making yours just now? Riddled with fear? 65-75: Are you truly alive? You have so many fears you are just existing. Life must be a very miserable and unfulfilling experience for you. Unless you change some of your negative mindsets, and really start to apprectiate each day and the people who matter, this poor, limiting quality of life is all you will ever have, which would be such a waste of your talents and opportunities.
