Fear of Success is Being an Artist Who Turns Down Millions For Their Paintings

Truth - Mitro

Operating out of a tiny strip mall in a antiquated shop that was open for only three months, with no heat, half of the overhead lights not working and half of the ceiling tiles missing.
I had three count em three hits on two of my paintings that I had priced at one million dollars apiece.

Heart - Mitro

Now instead of being the normal person jumping for joy that the beauty of my art far far eclipsed the rundown appearance of it's surrounding, what did I do?
I did what any person fearful of being faced with such immediate overwhelming success would do. 
I blew each of the three buyers off with my arrogance.
Now as a believer, a strong believer that our time on Earth is to experience I believe that those who toss away success so easily have totally  come into this life to remedy finally once and for all and banish such inferior feeling of unworthiness and self deprecation of self.
