why do we self-sabotage when life is treating us good?

Because many of us can't stand failure and we can't stand success.
We are truly at war with ourselves ... the alcoholic/addicts dilemma. How many of us want the limelight and when we become the centre of attention we say defiantly "What are YOU looking at" !!

Fear is a big issue I think. Sometimes we just get addicted to the happiness that we are afraid something will derail that happiness. I have done it to myself- it's almost like we are afraid to be happy because we know it will always last
What we all forget is that life is about ups and downs- we are stronger than we think or are willing to admit All the best to you -------------------- Hellfish ''The more I read, the more I acquire, the more I certain I know nothing'' Voltaire 'madness is to think of too many things in secession too fast or of one thing too exclusively' Voltaire | ||
